TEXT ORDER entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 5/2/2024. Plaintiff filed a Complaint #1 under 42 U.S.C. Sec 1983 alleging violations of his constitutional rights when he was incarcerated at Stateville Correctional Center ("Stateville"). Venue for federal civil rights actions is governed by 28 U.S.C. Sec 1391(b). According to that statute, such actions may be brought only in (1) the judicial district where any defendant resides (if all defendants reside in the same State), (2) a judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred, or (3) a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought. It appears that a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims in this lawsuit occurred when Plaintiff was incarcerated at Stateville located in Will County, Illinois, which is situated in the federal judicial district of the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division. See 28 U.S.C. Sec 93(a)(1). Plaintiff also names Stateville correctional and medical staff as Defendants. The Court therefore finds that venue over this proceeding is in the Northern District and that it is in the interest of justice for this cause to be transferred there. See 28 U.S.C. Sec 1404(a). No summons shall issue in this action unless directed by the transferee court. The Clerk is directed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
