MEMORANDUM AND ORDER TRANSFERRING CASE TO OTHER DISTRICT: Case transferred to Central District of Illinois. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 2/3/2014. (jdh)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
JULIE DAVIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 13-cv-1316-JPG-PMF

DEREK JONES,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff Julie Davis’s response to the Court’s January
17, 2014, order to show cause why this case should not be transferred to the United States District
Court for the Central District of Illinois pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (Doc. 9). Davis has
responded that a transfer is appropriate and asks the Court to transfer the case to the Urbana Division in
particular (Doc. 9). Accordingly, after considering the factors relevant to a transfer pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1404(a), the Court TRANSFERS this case to the United States District Court for the Central
District of Illinois. It is unable, however, to ensure the case is assigned to the Urbana Division
because such subdistrict assignments are governed by internal Central District rules and procedures.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
