TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 7/9/2021. Plaintiff has filed several letters to the Clerk over the past few weeks, and three cases have been opened: 21-cv-2176 (this case); 21-cv-2155 (Cisco v. Ford County); and 21-2176 (Cisco v. Rumley). Plaintiff should be aware that if his lawsuits are dismissed for failure to state a federal claim or as frivolous, those dismissals will count as a "strikes" against Plaintiff. 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). After three strikes, Plaintiff will not be allowed to proceed in forma pauperis in federal court on a lawsuit he files from jail or prison unless he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury. Id. Additionally, even if Plaintiff is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, a filing fee of $350 must be taken in installments from Plaintiff's jail or prison trust account until paid in full. 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1). The Court has directed the clerk to file Plaintiff's latest letters in this case as one complaint, but whether Plaintiff intends to pursue a lawsuit is not clear. Generally, a public defender is not a state actor who can be sued in federal court. Additionally, the Court cannot order an investigation of the Illinois State Police or direct the State of Illinois or Governor Pritzker to comply with state laws. If Plaintiff does not wish to pursue this case, then by August 6, 2021, Plaintiff should file a motion to voluntarily dismiss, listing the case number at the top of the motion. If Plaintiff files a motion to voluntarily dismiss, the Court will dismiss this case, and no filing fee or strike will be assessed. If Plaintiff does wish to pursue this case, then by August 6, 2021, Plaintiff must pay the $402 filing fee or file a petition to proceed in forma pauperis. (KB)
