Filing 6
ORDER: On November 17, 2025, this court ordered appellant to file a memorandum by December 1, 2025, explaining why this appeal should not be dismissed because it is duplicative. Appellant did not respond, so the court ordered appellant to show cause for his failure to respond by December 23, 2025. Again, appellant did not respond. Accordingly, on review of the short record, this appeal is DISMISSED because it is unnecessary. This appeal duplicates an appeal filed on October 16, 2025, and docketed in this court as Appeal No. 25-2839. Only one appeal is necessary from any given judgment or order. Grunt Style LLC v. TWD, LLC, 140 F.4th 839, 845 (7th Cir. 2025); Harris v. Bellin Meml Hosp., 13 F.3d 1082, 1083 (7th Cir. 1994). Appellants appeal from the district courts judgment will proceed under No. 25-2839. David F. Hamilton, Circuit Judge; Doris L. Pryor, Circuit Judge and Joshua P. Kolar, Circuit Judge. [6] [7507890] [25-3051] (FP) [Entered: 02/27/2026 12:39 PM]

Filing 2
ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that this appeal duplicates an appeal filed on October 16, 2025, and docketed in this court as Appeal No. 25-2839. A party needs only one appeal from any given judgment or order, and the other should be dismissed. Grunt Style LLC v. TWD, LLC, 140 F.4th 839, 845 (7th Cir. 2025); Harris v. Bellin Meml Hosp., 13 F.3d 1082, 1083 (7th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the appellant shall file, on or before December 1, 2025, a brief memorandum stating why this appeal should not be dismissed as unnecessary. A motion for voluntary dismissal under Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure will satisfy this requirement. Briefing is SUSPENDED pending further court order.
