1:19-cv-00252 · Northern District of Illinois
WHAT HAPPENED — IN PLAIN ENGLISH
The case has been transferred from the Northern District of Illinois to the District of Delaware pursuant to defendants' motion to transfer (Entry #25). This transfer requires immediate coordination with Delaware counsel and potential refiling of any pending motions under Delaware local rules. No immediate action is required before 9 AM, but counsel should be briefed on the transfer and consolidation implications for case strategy.

YOUR CASE FILE
Entry #24 (Feb 15): Plaintiff DiCello Levitt filed reply in support of motion to quash and for protective order by attorney Amy Keller
Entry #25 (Feb 19): Judge Joan H. Lefkow granted defendants' motion to transfer (#12) and ordered case transferred to D. Del. for consolidation with CFPB v. National Collegiate Master Student Loan Trust (C.A. No. 17-1323-MN)
Entry #26 (Feb 20): Electronic record officially transferred to District of Delaware
All pending deadlines in Illinois case are now void; new scheduling will be governed by Delaware court and consolidated case timeline
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
Defendants successfully executed forum shopping strategy by obtaining transfer to Delaware, likely seeking more favorable venue or judge for financial services litigation
The timing suggests defendants prioritized getting out of Northern District of Illinois quickly, possibly due to unfavorable local precedent or Judge Lefkow's approach to discovery disputes
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
Case is now consolidated with underlying CFPB enforcement action, fundamentally changing litigation dynamics from standalone dispute to part of broader regulatory enforcement proceeding
Transfer to Delaware federal court may signal shift toward more debtor-friendly forum with established expertise in complex financial restructuring matters
