Date Filed Document Text
November 5, 2021 Prisoner Initial Partial Filing Fee received 11/5/2021, in the amount of $ 68.36; receipt number 14626041879. (JS)
October 26, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 10/26/2021. Plaintiff filed a complaint 1 , a motion for injunctive relief #4 , and a petition to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") #3 . The Court granted Plaintiff's IFP petition and imposed a $68.36 initial partial filing fee that remains unpaid. Plaintiff has since filed a "motion for clarification," requesting that the Court delay debiting the fee from his trust fund until after the Court considers Plaintiff pleadings and, if a judgment is entered against Defendants, require them to pay the imposed fee. The Court lacks the authority to grant Plaintiff's request. Title 28 U.S.C. Sec 1915(b) provides that a "prisoner shall be required to pay the full amount of the filing fee[,]" which the Court lacks the authority to alter. See Lucien v. DeTella, 141 F.3d 773, 776 (7th Cir. 1998) (concluding that a district court does not have authority to waive the filing fee or to modify the amount or timing of payments); see also Butler v. Deal, 794 F. App'x 542, 544 (7th Cir. 2020) ("Courts may allow a plaintiff proceeding in forma pauperis to pay the fee in monthly installments, but they lack statutory authority to waive the fee altogether.") (citing Maus v. Baker, 729 F.3d 708, 709 (7th Cir. 2014)). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's motion for clarification #11 . The Court DIRECTS the Clerk of the Court to provide the trust fund office at Pontiac Correctional Center ("Pontiac") a copy of this Order. Pontiac shall forward the imposed fee to the Clerk within fourteen days of the entry of this Order. (KE)
