Filing 4
ORDER: Cook County detainee Dahveed Morris initiated this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. 1983 concerning his encounter with Lt. Galan on August 10, 2021, but Morris did not pay the Court's filing fee or apply for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. He must do one of two things: (1) prepay the $402.00 filing fee or (2) apply to proceed in forma pauperis using the enclosed form. An application to proceed in forma pauperis must be accompanied by a certified account statement showing all transactions in his custodial account or accounts from February 21, 2023, to August 21, 2023. If he was incarcerated at more than one facility during that time, he must obtain an account statement from each facility. Alternatively, he may submit payment of the $402.00 by check or money order payable to Clerk, United States District Court. Failure to comply by October 6, 2023, will result in dismissal of this lawsuit. Plaintiff should be aware that he must pay the filing fee even if the case is summarily dismissed. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(b)(1). Thus, he must either pay the full filing fee upfront or pay the filing fee over time in installments consisting of 20% of his monthly income (including money sent by family and friends) until the filing fee is paid in full. If he is allowed to pay in installments, the collections from his account will follow him even if he is transferred to another facility. Waiver of the fee is not an option. The Court defers consideration of Plaintiff's complaint under 28 U.S.C. 1915A and his motion for attorney representation until after his fee status is resolved. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis and a copy of this order. Signed by the Honorable Robert W. Gettleman on 9/8/2023. Mailed notice (cn).
