January 20, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER re: 1. Plaintiff's second motion for reconsideration based on confusion on the filing fee determination in the court of appeals. 2. Motion for order authorizing payment of filing fee from inmate release account. 3. Motion for time extension to timely submit appellate filing fee. This appeal is subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act and therefore all proceedings are suspended pending the assessment and payment of any necessary fees. See Newlin v. Helman, 123 F.3d 429, 434 (7th Cir. 1997). A review of the docket indicates that the appellant's fee status has not yet been determined. Specifically, the appellants motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is currently pending before the district court. Accordingly, the motions are DENIED without court action, pursuant to this courts order dated October 17, 2025. The appellant is reminded that the filing of a notice of appeal triggers the obligation to pay the appropriate appellate filing fees. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b). These fees are separate and distinct from the fees incurred when filing a complaint in the district court. Therefore, this courts docket correctly reflects the appellants fee status as described in this order. The clerk will send the appellant a copy of the courts public docket.

November 4, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ORDER re: Letter regarding appeal No. 24-2173. A review of the docket in appeal no. 24-2173 shows that the appeal stems from district court case no. 24 C 727 where the district court summarily dismissed Girtlers petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Appeal no. 25-2846 stems from district court case no. 24 C 1556 where the district court dismissed Girtlers civil rights complaint. Girtlers appeals are from separate underlying district court cases, and a docketing statement is required for each appeal. Further, appeal no. 25-2846 is subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act and therefore all proceedings are suspended pending the assessment and payment of any necessary fees. See Newlin v. Helman, 123 F.3d 429, 434 (7th Cir. 1997). A review of the docket in appeal no. 25-2846 indicates that the appellant's fee status has not yet been determined. Specifically, the deadline for appellant to either pay the $605.00 required appellate filing fees or file a motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis in the district court is November 17, 2025. Accordingly, to the extent that the appellant seeks an extension of time, the deadline for the appellant to either pay the $605.00 appellate filing fees or file a motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis in the district court is extended to December 4, 2025, for appeal no. 25-2846. Failure to comply with this order may result in the dismissal of this appeal. The appellant shall also file his overdue Circuit Rule 3(c) docketing statement for appeal no. 25-2846 by December 4, 2025.
