August 9, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 8/9/2019. Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Title 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(a)(3) provides that "an appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith." Id. An appeal taken in "good faith" is not about the movant's sincerity or motivation. A good faith appeal is an appeal that "a reasonable person could suppose... has some merit." Walker v. OBrien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000). The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion, his notice of appeal, and the Court's Orders, and the Court does not see an arguable good faith basis for his appeal. Accordingly, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(a)(3) that Plaintiff's petition to appeal in forma pauperis is not in good faith, and the motion #8 is DENIED. If Plaintiff wishes to contest this Court's finding, he must renew his petition to proceed in forma pauperis with the Court of Appeals within thirty (30) days after service of this Order. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. (KE, ilcd)

August 5, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 8/5/2019. Plaintiff's motion to reconsider #6 is DENIED. Contrary to his allegations within his motion to reconsider, Plaintiff's Complaint does not demonstrate that he is under an imminent danger of serious physical injury. Plaintiff may proceed with this case but only if he pays the required $400.00 filing fee within the timeframe previously given by the Court. Otherwise, this case will remain closed. (KE, ilcd)

Plaintiff may move to re-open this case within fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order but only if Plaintiff's motion is accompanied by the full filing fee. Otherwise, this case will remain closed. Plaintiff is reminded that, in the future, he must either pay the filing fee in full or inform the Court of his accurate litigation history and his three- strikes status pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(g) if moving for in forma pauperis status. All other pending motions are DENIED as moot, and this case is CLOSED. No judgment to enter. See written order. (KE, ilcd)
