Filing 3
ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that this pro se appeal duplicates an appeal filed by counsel for appellant on January 20, 2026, and docketed in this court as Appeal No. 26-1109. 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 appellant shall file, on or before February 17, 2026, 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.
