Date Filed Document Text
February 7, 2022 Filing 8 STATUS Request from Sherman Jilton (Envelope postmarked 01/28/2022) (cxr, )
January 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER: Petitioner Sherman Jilton seeks to bring a 28 U.S.C 2241 petition asserting a speedy-trial claim and claiming confinement as a pretrial detainee for over eight years without a trial. The Court denies his motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) #3 , as his prison trust account statement shows he has a current balance of $139.00 and has received more than $150 each month during the six-month period before filing this case. Such funds render him ineligible for pauper status. See Longbehn v. United States, 169 F.3d 1082, 108384 (7th Cir. 1999) (citing Lumbert v. Illinois Dep't of Corr., 827 F.2d 257, 260 (7th Cir. 1987)). He must pay the $5.00 filing fee to proceed with this case, which he may do by check or money order made payable to Clerk, United States District Court Northern District of Illinois. If Petitioner fails to comply with this order by February 4, 2022, the Court will summarily dismiss this case without prejudice. See N.D. Ill. Local Rule 3.3(f). The Court denies without prejudice Petitioner's motion for an attorney #4 . Courts recruit counsel in habeas corpus cases for evidentiary hearings or if justice so requires, see Rule 8(c) of the Rules Governing 28 U.S.C. 2254 Cases, and typically cannot make such determinations until after a response to the habeas petition has been filed. Signed by the Honorable John Robert Blakey on 1/10/2022. Mailed notice(gcy, )
December 23, 2021 Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 2/7/2022, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Gloria Lewis, at (312) 818-6699. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. Mailed notice (gel, )
