Date IFP denied: 02/26/2026.Plaintiff's instant Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis does not identify the issues she will present on appeal, nor does the Plaintiff's 15 Notice of Appeal which consists of a single sentence stating she appeals the final judgment and all prior adverse orders. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1)(c). By 03/11/2026, Plaintiff may file a renewed Motion for Leave to Appeal in forma pauperis in this Court. Celske v.

Filing 4
ORDER: A preliminary review of the short record suggests that the order appealed from may not yet be a final decision within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1291. A notice of appeal filed before the district court issues its ruling on a timely motion under Rule 59 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is ineffective until the order disposing of the motion is entered on the district courts civil docket. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4). In the present case, appellant filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment on February 7, 2026, within 28 days of entry of judgment on January 27, 2026. This motion appears to render this appeal premature, because the district court has not yet disposed of the motion and entered its order on the civil docket. Florian v. Sequa Corp., 294 F.3d 828, 829 (7th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, proceedings in this appeal are SUSPENDED pending the district court's resolution of the motion to alter or amend. If a party contends that this appeal should not be suspended, then that party should file a brief memorandum on or before February 25, 2026, stating why suspension is not appropriate. Further, appellant shall file a status report within seven days of a ruling on the motion to alter or amend, or on or shortly before March 11, 2026, if no order has yet issued.
