Date Filed Document Text
April 9, 2024 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge James E. Shadid on 4/9/24. Plaintiff has filed a Motion to Dismiss #7 , indicating that he wishes to dismiss this suit because he cannot find a lawyer to take his case and because of his medical treatment since filing suit. Because Defendants have not yet filed an answer to the Complaint #1 , Plaintiff is entitled to voluntarily dismiss this case, without court order, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Plaintiff's Motion #7 is GRANTED, any other pending motions are denied as MOOT, and this case is now terminated. However, Plaintiff is notified that the Court does not have discretion to waive payment of Plaintiff's filing fee. Maus v. Baker, 729 F.3d 708, 710 (7th Cir. 2013), citing 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b). Plaintiff has been granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis, but that does not result in waiver of fees. Instead, it results in Plaintiff having the opportunity to pay over time. Plaintiff has paid the initial filing fee of $20.67, and Plaintiff will thus pay the remainder of the $305 filing fee even after this case is dismissed. (ANW)
