Background

Magistrate Judge Leo I. Brisbois issued a Report and Recommendation on September 30, 2022. The opinion does not describe the underlying claims or explain why transfer was recommended.

Review of the Recommendation

No party objected to the Report and Recommendation. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b), the district court therefore reviewed it for clear error, meaning an obvious mistake in the magistrate judge’s recommendation. The court found no clear error.

Ruling

Judge Eric C. Tostrud accepted the Report and Recommendation and ordered the matter transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois under 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a). The order transferred the matter; it did not dismiss the case.
