Plaintiff has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming his constitutional rights were violated while he was incarcerated at the Graham Correctional Center (Doc. 1). Venue for federal civil rights actions brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 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. The events or omissions giving rise to Plaintiff's allegations occurred at the Graham Correctional Center in Montgomery County, Illinois, which is situated in the federal judicial district for the Central District of Illinois. 28 U.S.C. § 93(b). Further, it appears that all/ the majority of the defendants can be found in that district. The Court therefore finds that the Central District is the appropriate forum for the hearing and determination of this civil rights action. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), and on the Court's own motion, IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this action is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois for a determination as to whether Plaintiff should be granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 28 U.S.C. § 1915, and such further proceedings as that court may deem appropriate. No summons shall issue in this action unless so directed by the transferee court. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 5/17/2016. (tjk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 05/17/2016)" @default.
