Date Filed Document Text
May 15, 2023 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin S. Bruce: Petitioner has submitted copies of a motion to dismiss he filed in his state court criminal case #9 . The filing has been docketed as a motion in this case. To the extent Petitioner was seeking to file this as a motion in this case as well, it is DENIED as MOOT. The Court has already summarily dismissed Petitioner's 2241 Petition, see #7 . Moreover, even if the motion was liberally construed as a motion to reconsider pursuant to Rule 59(e), it merely reasserts his previous grievances about his arrest, and does not even attempt to argue that the Courts reasons for dismissing his Petition were erroneous.

March 23, 2023 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin S. Bruce: Petitioner has filed a Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis #2 . Habeas proceedings are not civil actions within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(2) and (b). The Court may, therefore, exercise its discretion to determine the amount of the filing fee and the timing of its payment based upon the what the petitioner can reasonably afford to pay. Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626, 638 n.5 (7th Cir. 2000) (en banc) (A court has it within its discretion to insist that litigants proceeding IFP in non-PLRA cases must nonetheless pay a fee commensurate with their ability to do so.). Here, Petitioner states he is indigent and unable to pay the $5.00 fee. However, he also states that he has received $700 in gifts in the past year but does not expect more. Petitioner has not filed a copy of his institutional trust fund ledger, so the Court cannot determine whether he currently has any funds (or did at the time he filed the Petition and chose to spend them elsewhere). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Petitioner's Motion to Proceed in forma pauperis #2 WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The Court ORDERS that Petitioner either pay the $5.00 fee or file another Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis that includes a copy of his institutional trust fund ledger within 30 days, or the Court will dismiss his Petition for failure to prosecute.
