TEXT ORDER entered by District Judge Colleen R. Lawless on 2/10/2025: Pro se Plaintiff Mary Schmidtke filed a Petition for Injunction to Stay Foreclosure1 against Defendant Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB. The Petition lists Plaintiff's address as 1813 Burr Oak Lane, Lindenhurst, IL, which is in the Northern District of Illinois. Per the Petition, Defendant filed the original residential foreclosure action against Plaintiff in the 19th Judicial Circuit Court, Lake County, IL, which is also in the Northern District of Illinois. There is no discernible connection between the action at issue in this case and the Central District of Illinois. Plaintiff filed suit in the wrong district. When venue is improper, a court may sua sponte transfer the case to a district where venue is proper. 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). Because the Northern District is the situs of events, venue is proper in that district. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). The court hereby directs the Clerk to transfer this matter to the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. This case is terminated in the Central District of Illinois. (KLC)
