Date Filed Document Text
June 18, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER/CIRCUIT RULE 3(b) FEE NOTICE of USCA as to #8 Notice of Appeal filed by Chadd Morris. Within 30 days plaintiff must pay filing fee or file motion to proceed in forma pauperis with Court of Appeals. SEE WRITTEN ORDER. (KM, ilcd)
June 18, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 6/18/2019. Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. Title 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) provides that "an appeal may not be taken in forma pauperis if the trial court certifies in writing that it is not taken in good faith." Id. An appeal taken in "good faith" is not about the movant's sincerity or motivation. A good faith appeal is an appeal that "a reasonable person could suppose... has some merit." Walker v. OBrien, 216 F.3d 626, 632 (7th Cir. 2000). The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion, his notice of appeal, and the Court's Order, and the Court does not see an arguable good faith basis for his appeal. Accordingly, the Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(3) that Plaintiff's petition to appeal in forma pauperis is not in good faith, and the motion #15 is DENIED. If Plaintiff wishes to contest this Court's finding, he must renew his petition to proceed in forma pauperis with the Court of Appeals within thirty (30) days after service of this Order. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The Clerk of the Court is directed to send a copy of this Order to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. (SAG, ilcd)

May 2, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER Entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 5/2/19. This Court has instituted a reduced payment procedure for indigent plaintiffs who are institutionalized but who are not prisoners as defined in 28 USC Section 1915(h). A reduced payment is assessed of 50% of such plaintiff's average monthly income for the six months preceding the filing of the complaint (not to exceed the $400 filing fee).
