ORDER: The Court grants Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis #4 and orders the trust fund officer to make deductions from Plaintiff's account as instructed in the Statement section below. Summons, however, shall not be issued. The Court dismisses Plaintiff's complaint #1 without prejudice for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. Plaintiff must submit an amended complaint that states a federal claim against proper defendants by May 16, 2024. Failure to comply will result in dismissal of this lawsuit with prejudice for failure to state a claim. Plaintiff also must promptly update his address if it changes while this case is open. If he does not keep the Court informed of his address, this lawsuit may be dismissed with no further notice. The Clerk of Court is directed to (1) send a copy of this order to the trust fund officer at Plaintiff's present place of incarceration and to this court's fiscal department; and (2) send Plaintiff a copy of this order along with a blank amended complaint form and instructions.

Filing 3
ORDER: Will County detainee Michael Christopher Dennis submitted a complaint concerning his experiences at the Will County Adult Detention Center, but he 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 $405.00 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 August 27, 2023, to February 27, 2024. 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 $405.00 by check or money order payable to Clerk, United States District Court. Failure to comply by April 1, 2024, 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 until after his fee status is resolved. The Clerk of Court is directed to send Plaintiff a blank application to proceed in forma pauperis along with a copy of this order. Signed by the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso on 3/4/2024. Mailed notice.(jj, )
