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.

DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE Defendant Trippe Manufacturing Co. has asked for a discretionary transfer of venue to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). [Doc. #9] Trippe failed to identify a single non-party witness whose testimony may be important and who will have to travel to this district. Since this court already has several cases involving Plaintiff’s products, judicial economy would not be served by transferring the case.
