SUPPLEMENT TO MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


Footnote 3 to this Court's May 23, 2003 memorandum opinion and order ("Opinion") raised a quizzical eyebrow as to just how the petition for habeas corpus relief ("Petition") filed by Homer Hanrahan ("Hanrahan") had come to this Courts calendar. Now the Clerk's Office file has been delivered to chambers (previously this Court had received only the judge's copy of the Petition itself), and that has provided the answer.

It turns out that Hanrahan had indeed filed his action in the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois. That was entirely permissible, because he is in custody at Dixon Correctional Center ("Dixon"), located within that District. But the Central District Judge had decided that a transfer to this District Court, where Hanrahan had originally been tried and convicted, was more appropriate.

Opinion n. 3 had mistakenly identified Dixon as being within the Western Division of this Northern District of Illinois.

That being so, it is just as well that this Court chose to deal with the substantive aspects of the matter in the Opinion. It will simply modify the Opinion by deleting footnote 3.
