April 21, 2021 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 4/21/21: Plaintiff's petition to proceed in forma pauperis is denied. #3 Plaintiff had a total of $1,900 deposits from 10/12/20 to 4/12/21, spending most of that money on commissary items and sending a significant amount of money to someone outside the prison. See Willis v. Dart, 2016 WL 7177756 (7th Cir. 2016) (Affirming dismissal of action for failure to show cause why full filing fee should not be paid where inmate drained $900 in account before filing case). Plaintiff shall pay the $402.00 filing fee by May 20, 2021, or this case will be dismissed, without prejudice, for failure to pay the filing fee. If Plaintiff pays the filing fee, a merit review of the complaint will be conducted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A to determine whether Plaintiff's allegations state a federal claim. Plaintiff should be aware that a constitutional claim based on the failure to protect a pretrial detainee from an assault must be based on more than negligence. To state a constitutional claim for failure to protect, Plaintiff's allegations must allow a reasonable inference that a defendant acted purposefully or recklessly regarding a substantial risk that Plaintiff would be attacked, and that the defendant's conduct was objectively unreasonable.
