Date Filed Document Text
January 14, 2021 Filing 17 MAIL RETURNED, for document #16 sent to Robert Kowalski returned as undeliverable, return to sender. No new contact information received; therefore future mailings will not be sent until a new address is provided to the Clerk's Office using a Notification of Change of Address or Pro Se Appearance form (as, )
January 1, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ORDER Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration #15 is denied. The docket confirms that the forms in question were mailed on 12/18/2020. Many detainees and inmates have managed to complete these and similar forms during the pandemic. However, given the eight-day delay in mailing out the forms, the deadline for Plaintiff to return them will be extended to 1/25/2021. Signed by the Honorable Robert M. Dow, Jr on 1/1/2021: Mailed notice (ec, )
December 29, 2020 Filing 15 MOTION by Plaintiff Robert M. Kowalski to reconsider order dated 12-10-20. (Envelope not postmarked; institution mail room 12/22/2020) (ec, ) Modified on 12/29/2020 (ec, ).
December 28, 2020 Filing 14 CERTIFIED copy of order dated 12/28/2020 from the 7th Circuit regarding notice of appeal #9 ; Appellate case no. 20-3482. IT IS ORDERED that the petition is DENIED. Review of the district court's docket shows that the court mailed an application to proceed in forma pauperis to Robert Kowalski on December 18, 2020. Kowalski should now have received the application, and any concerns about receipt of the application should have been directed to the district court in the first instance. To the extent that Kowalski is asking this court to order the district court to rule on his request for injunctive relief before his IFP status is resolved, the request is denied. The district court has not abused its discretion or exceeded its authority. See Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Court for Dist. of Columbia, 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004). (ec, )
