What happened
Stone v. Davis involved Patrick Stone as the plaintiff and Andrew Davis, J. Matthew Linstroth, and Katz & Stefani, LLC, as defendants. The order considered a magistrate judge’s recommendation, and no party objected to it.
The court found no clear error in the recommendation, adopted it, and transferred the matter to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois under 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). This order does not explain the recommendation’s underlying reasoning.
Judge Wilhelmina M. Wright signed the June 15, 2020 order. The order did not decide the parties’ underlying claims.
