From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Before the Court is Defendant Riddell, Inc.’s (“Riddell”) Motion to Dismiss or Transfer to the Northern District of Illinois Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) or 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). (Dkt. No. 7.) Having considered the Motion, the corresponding briefing, and the relevant authorities, the Court finds that venue is proper in this District. Thus, the portion of Riddell’s Motion based on improper venue is DENIED. However, the Court is of the opinion that the Northern District of Illinois is a clearly more convenient forum for this particular case.
