Date Filed Document Text
March 5, 2021 Filing 19 Short Record of Appeal Sent to US Court of Appeals regarding #18 Notice of Appeal (KB)
March 4, 2021 Filing 18 NOTICE OF APPEAL as to Order entered on 2/2/2021 dismissing the plaintiff's imminent danger complaint and denial of plaintiff's objection to that dismissal on February 9. 2021 by Durwyn Talley. (SKN)
February 11, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 2/11/2021. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file additional exhibits is granted. #17 The Court has reviewed the exhibits, which consist primarily of Plaintiff's grievances, and remains of the opinion that Plaintiff is not in imminent danger of serious physical injury. The responses to the grievances reflect that Plaintiff's concerns for his own safety were referred to Internal Affairs or others for investigation. Additionally, Plaintiff's allegations in the Rasho case were forwarded to the court monitor in that case. That Plaintiff has not received his requested relief in this casea transfer to a different prisonis not grounds to conclude that Plaintiff is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. (KB, ilcd)
February 10, 2021 Filing 17 PLAINTIFF'S URGENT JUDICIAL NOTICE and MOTION for Leave to File Additional Exhibits by Plaintiff Durwyn Talley. Responses due by 2/24/2021 (Attachments: #1 Exhibits)(SKN, ilcd)
February 9, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 2/9/2021. Inmate Durwyn Talley has struck out, 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(g), and the Seventh Circuit has barred Mr. Talley from filing anything until Mr. Talley has paid all outstanding fees. An exception to the filing ban is if Mr. Talley is in "imminent danger of serious physical injury, and requests judicial aid in bringing that danger to an end. Whether such a danger exists is a question for the district judge, and Talley's claim of danger will not be automatically accepted." [Seventh Circuit Mack Order and amendment filed in Talley v. Renzi, 20-cv-1159, CDIL.] On February 2, 2021, the Court dismissed this case without prejudice, concluding that Plaintiff did not appear to be in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Plaintiff moves to strike the affidavit upon which the Court relied and also seeks recusal of the Court. Plaintiff's motion for recusal is denied. #16 Adverse rulings are not, by themselves, grounds for recusal. See Khor Chin Lim v. Courtcall, Inc., 683 F.3d 378 (7th Cir. 2012)("Adverse decisions do not establish bias or even hint at bias."). Plaintiff's motion to strike is construed as a motion to reconsider the Court's 2/2/21 ruling. The motion is denied. #15 The Court remains of the opinion, based on the affidavits provided by Defendants, that Plaintiff is not in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Having a hearing on the matter would not be productive in the Courts opinion. Listening to the parties reiterate their written positions would not assist the Court. (KB, ilcd)

February 8, 2021 Filing 14 OBJECTION to Court's Order entered 2/2/2021 by Durwyn Talley. (ME, ilcd)

February 2, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 2/2/2021. Inmate Durwyn Talley has struck out, 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(g), and the Seventh Circuit has barred Mr. Talley from filing anything until Mr. Talley has paid all outstanding fees. An exception to the filing ban is if Mr. Talley is in "imminent danger of serious physical injury, and #12 requests judicial aid in bringing that danger to an end. Whether such a danger exists is a question for the district judge, and Talley's claim of danger will not be automatically accepted." [Seventh Circuit Mack Order and amendment filed in Talley v. Renzi, 20-cv-1159, CDIL.] Mr. Talley alleges in this case that he will be released from segregation in a few weeks and will then be at a substantial risk of attack from other inmates. Karl Webber, a correctional counselor who has interacted with Plaintiff, avers that Plaintiff has not relayed any fears to Counselor Webber regarding Plaintiff's physical safety. Additionally, Counselor Webber avers that Plaintiff's status is currently designated as "mental health status, which means that Plaintiff is placed in a one-man cell and cuffed and escorted when Plaintiff moves anywhere out of his cell, and that this status is safer than protective custody. [Webber Aff.] Plaintiff does not appear to be in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Accordingly, this case is dismissed, without prejudice, for failure to pay the filing fee in this case and failure to demonstrate payment of all outstanding fees. Pending motions are moot. #3 , #5 . The clerk is directed to close this case. No judgment will enter. (KE, ilcd) Modified on 2/4/2021 to correct typographical error. (KE, ilcd).
