July 27, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ORDER re: 1. Motion for appointment of counsel. 2. Motion for waiver of fees. 3. Motion to extend time to file appellant's brief. [ # 7 ]; [ # 6 ] 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 appellants 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, to the extent that the appellant seeks appointment of counsel, the request is DENIED without court action, pursuant to this courts fee notice and order dated July 7, 2026. The request for waiver of fees is DENIED without prejudice to renewal after the district court has ruled on the appellants pending motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. Because the appellants fee status has not yet been determined, this court has not set a briefing schedule. Accordingly, the motion for extension of time is DENIED without prejudice to renewal should this appeal proceed to briefing. [10] [7542743] CDH [26-2429] (CG) [Entered: 07/27/2026 09:30 AM]
