Date Filed Document Text
August 17, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 35 MEMORANDUM Order:On July 31, 2017 prisoner plaintiff Hugo Valdivia ("Valdivia") filed a handwritten "To whom it may concern" letter (Dkt. No. 33) inquiring as to the balances he owes on account of filing fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (1) in this case assigned to this Court and (2) in Case No. 16 C 7519 assigned to this Court's colleague Honorable John Tharp. Because this Court is recuperating from surgery and therefore unable to pursue the matter personally, its able law clerk Emily Brown looked into the question and has obtained the requested information.In brief, as of August 13 Valdivia has paid $343.23 toward the $350 filing fee in this case, so that he owes only the remaining $6.77 in th is action. As to Judge Tharp's Case No. 16 C 7519, Valdivia has already paid $352.40 -- $2.40 more than the $350 fee -- and this Court is informed that Judge Tharp has just entered an order dealing with the situation in that case. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 8/17/2017:Mailed notice(srn, )
July 14, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 32 MEMORANDUM Order: Last week prisoner plaintiff Hugo Valdivia ("Valdivia") filed a letter (Dkt. No. 29) asking, as to both this case and Case No. 16 C 7519 assigned to this Court's colleague Honorable John Tharp, "whats going on wi th these cases that I continue to pay for"? In the latter respect Valdivia's letter earlier states "one thing for sure is that money is still being taken out of my trust fund." For Valdivia's information, this case was dismi ssed more than ten months ago by this Court's August 30, 2016 memorandum order. And as for his trust fund account, any lawsuit by a prisoner plaintiff obligates him or her to pay the filing fee in monthly installments until the full $350 has been paid, an obligation that continues even though the lawsuit may have been dismissed. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 7/14/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )
August 30, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 12 MEMORANDUM Order. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 8/30/2016:Mailed notice.(clw, )
