Filing 7
ORDER: Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #3 is denied without prejudice. If Plaintiff wants to proceed with this case, he must file an amended in forma pauperis application that accurately discloses the total amount of gifts that he received. Specifically, the amended application must disclose the gifts that he received from August 20, 2018 (that is, twelve months before bringing this action) through the day that he files a renewed in forma pauperis application. In addition, he must accurately disclose the total state pay that he earned from working during that time period. He also must disclose in detail how he spent his money, and explain why he believes his income should not be counted against his ability to prepay the full filing fee. Alternatively, Plaintiff may forego his request to proceed in forma pauperis and prepay the $400 filing fee. Either way, he must submit a sworn memorandum addressing questionable (if not false) statements in his in forma pauperis application, as discussed below. If Plaintiff does not comply with all of these directives by November 15, 2019, the Court will dismiss this case. In the meantime, Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation #4 is denied without prejudice as he has not attempted to obtain counsel himself. See Pickett v. Chicago Transit Auth., 930 F.3d 869, 871 (7th Cir. 2019) (citing Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654 (7th Cir. 2007) (en banc)). Nothing suggests that Plaintiff is unable to respond to this Order without counsel, which calls for basic financial information and explanations about matters that are within his knowledge. Finally, Plaintiff must promptly submit a change-of-address notification if he is released or transferred to another facility. If he does not keep the Clerk apprised of his correct address, this case will be subject to dismissal. Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 10/18/2019:Mailed notice(jjr, )

| Filing 6 STANDING ORDER dated 9/23/19: This Standing Order applies to all civil cases reassigned to the calendar of District Judge Steven C. Seeger. All previously-set status or motion hearing dates are vacated. Any trials set for September 23, 2019 through October 31, 2019 are cancelled and will be re-set by the Court. Unless otherwise ordered, all other previously-set deadlines and schedules remain intact. The Court will set a date for a reassignment status conference after the parties have filed the joint status report. The Court will address already-pending motions at that conference. The parties are directed not to notice or re-notice any motions, with the exception of emergency motions, before appearing at the reassignment status conference. All emergency motions arising before September 30, 2019 should be noticed before the emergency judge. For all emergency motions arising after September 30, 2019, but before the date of the reassignment conference, the parties are directed to contact chambers at (312) 435-5588. Emergency matters must be true emergencies, meaning that a delay in hearing them would cause serious and irreparable harm to one or more of the parties. To help the Court learn about the case, counsel shall confer, prepare, and file a joint status report by October 1, 2019. If defense counsel has not yet filed an appearance, plaintiff's counsel should prepare the status report. The report shall contain the information requested in the Initial Status Report For Reassigned Case. A Word version of the Initial Status Report is available on Judge Seeger's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. The parties must deliver two (2) copies of the Initial Status Report to the courtroom deputy's drop-box outside room 1728 by October 2, 2019. (See order for further details.) Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 9/23/2019: Mailed notice. (sm, ) |
