| Filing 3 JUDGMENT IN A CIVIL CASE. (JS, ilcd) |
TEXT ORDER entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 10/23/2020. Plaintiff has filed this action #1 against Rachel Pace and Illinois Central College asserting violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in relation to a bill he received from ICC for tuition. He seeks to advance his case without paying the filing fee. #2 . This matter, like others Plaintiff has filed recently, is a frivolous lawsuit based upon a fictitious "sovereign citizen" legal theory. See also 20-1348, 20-1269. Defendants are not debt collectors under the FDCPA, 15 U.S.C.A. 1692a(6), because ICC is in the business of educating, not in the principal business of collecting debts. Thus, Plaintiff's Complaint fails to state a claim, and no attempt at amendment can make ICC a debt collector, so leave to amend will not be allowed. Plaintiff's Motion #2 to Proceed IFP is GRANTED, and this action is dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a claim. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(e). Finally, Plaintiff is warned that filing further frivolous or malicious lawsuits will earn him a filing bar and/or other sanction to prevent his abuse of judicial resources. Support Sys. Intl v. Mack, 45 F.3d 185 (7th Cir. 1995). The Clerk is directed to close the case.(JS, ilcd)
