ORDER - Presently pending before the Court is a Motion to Supplement the Record on Appeal filed by pro se Plaintiff Brenda Parker. [Filing No. 165 .] Ms. Parker seeks to supplement the record of her case on appeal with a receipt from Federal Expr ess ("Fed Ex") that she claims shows the date on which her Second Motion for Leave to File Amended Complaint was mailed. [Filing No. 165 at 1.] For the reasons stated herein, Ms. Parker's Motion to Supplement the Record on Appeal is not properly brought pursuant to Rule 10(e) because she seeks to add new material to the record on appeal that was not before this Court. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Ms. Parker's Motion to Supplement the Record on Appeal. As set forth herein, Ms. Parker's Motion to Supplement the Record on Appeal, 165 , is DENIED. (See Order).

ENTRY DISCUSSING REQUEST TO PROCEED ON APPEAL IN FORMA PAUPERIS - Ms. Parker seeks leave to proceed on appeal without prepayment of the appellate fees of $505.00. An appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies that the appeal is not taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915; see Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962). "Good faith" within the meaning of § 1915 must be judged by an objective, not a subjective, standard. See id. There is no objectively reasonable argument Ms. Parker could present to argue that the disposition of this action was erroneous. In pursuing an appeal, therefore, Ms. Parker "is acting in bad faith... [because] to sue in bad faith means merely to sue on the basis of a frivolous claim, which is to say a claim that no reasonable person could suppose to have any merit." Lee v. Clinton, 209 F.3d 1025, 1026 (7th Cir. 2000). Accordingly, her appeal is not taken in good faith, and for this reason her request for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis, [Filing No. 131 ], is DENIED. Copies mailed pursuant to Distribution List. (USCA #17-02123). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 6/12/2017. (APD)

Capital One and Onyx's request for the Court to enter partial final judgment in their favor pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) is GRANTED. 106 The Court will enter partial final judgment in favor of Capital One and Onyx by separate entry, and the Clerk is directed to TERMINATE those parties on the docket. The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to UPDATE the docket to reflect Defendant Dalias' actual name--Mark Senesac. The Court GRANTS Ms. Parker's extension request given the various rulings the Court has issued today, and ORDERS Ms. Parker to file a response to the City Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment by June 12, 2017. Ms. Parker should not anticipate further extensions of that deadline. She shoul d also be sure to thoroughly review the Notice Regarding Right to Respond to and Submit Evidence in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment. 112 . SEE ORDER. Copy sent to Plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 4/28/2017. (JRB)
