TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 1/21/2026. Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #43 is DENIED as redundant. Plaintiff has previously filed a motion for IFP status, and therefore, he does not need to file another motion. The Court will consider Plaintiff's request after the Court has received his trust fund ledgers from the IDOC. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended complaint #41 is DENIED because Plaintiff has filed a second motion for leave to file an amended complaint (D/E #45 ). The Court will consider Plaintiff's second motion for leave to file an amended complaint (D/E #45 ) after the Court rules on his motion for IFP status. (KE)

TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 1/20/2026. Plaintiff's pending motions #39 and #42 are DENIED as premature.

Until the Court considers and grants Plaintiffs IFP motion, any other motion(s) filed by him will be denied as premature. The Court will consider Plaintiffs motion to amend his Complaint (D/E #41 ), after he obtains IFP status, as part of the Court's required merit review of his proposed Amended Complaint. (KE)
