MEMORANDUM Order: Thomas Wilson ("Wilson") has brought an employment discrimination action against his ex-employer Legum Norman Midwest ("Legum Norman"), charging that he had been the victim of discrimination on the base of his c olor and race. With Wilson having paid the $400 filing fee up front, his accompanying In Forma Pauperis Application ("Application") was tendered solely in support of his Motion for Attorney Representation ("Motion") -- both o f those forms, like Wilson's Complaint of Employment Discrimination, were completed on forms made available by the Clerk's Office for use by pro se plaintiffs.This Court has twice directed Wilson's attention to the deficiencies in his effort to obtain representation by pro bono counsel. Those brief memorandum orders of March 2 and March 25 have brought no response, and accordingly the Motion [Dkt. 4] is denied without prejudice. This action has previously been set for a May 29 status hearing date, which will remain in effect. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 5/26/2015:Mailed notice(clw, )

MEMORANDUM Order: This Court's current printout of a Motions Report -- a report that reflects all motions considered as pending in cases assigned to its calendar -- includes Dkt. 11 in this action, which is listed as the application by plainti ff Thomas Wilson for leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("Application"). Although that listing is literally accurate -- Wilson has indeed filed such an Application -- it is not accurate in real world terms, because Wilson has already paid the $400 filing fee. Instead the Application is really a corollary to Wilson's effort to obtain attorney representation, an effort that this Court could not entertain because of his failure to report any efforts to retain counsel on his ow n (a requirement that our Court of Appeals imposes as a precondition to considering any designation of counsel to act pro bono publico). Accordingly the Application [Dkt. 11] is denied, a denial that does not bear adversely on the unresolved ultimate issue of pro bono representation by counsel. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 3/25/2015:Mailed notice(clw, )
