(a) Proper Venue. Divisional venue is determined by applying the district venue provisions
of 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391-1413 to the divisions of the Northern District of Indiana as defined
in 28 U.S.C. §94(a).
(b) Improper Venue. On its own or the motion of a party, if the court determines a case is
filed in a division without proper venue, the court may, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1406:
(1) dismiss the case; or
(2) in the interest of justice, transfer the case by issuing an order directing the clerk
to reopen the case in a proper division.
(c) Waiver. If a party does not interpose a timely and sufficient objection to divisional
venue, the objection is waived.
