TEXT ORDER entered by District Judge Sue E Myerscough on 6/5/2025. Plaintiff filed a Petition to Proceed In Forma Pauperis #6 on 5/30/25. However, Judgment #4 had already entered in this case on 5/8/25. In addition, the Court concludes that any further consideration of the Complaint #1 would be futile, as Plaintiff is seeking relief in the form of immediate release from custody and reinstatement of his driver's license, which this Court has no authority to grant in a suit filed under 28 U.S.C. Section 1983. See also Jakupovic v. Curran, 850 F.3d 898, 902 (7th Cir. 2017) ("Lower federal courts are not vested with appellate authority over state courts."). Therefore, this case remains closed, and the Clerk is directed to MOOT all pending motions. (VH)
