Date Filed Document Text
September 8, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER The Court denies Plaintiff's "mandamus petition" #7 because a writ of mandamus is not appropriate under the circumstances presented by Plaintiff. See Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Court for Dist. of Columbia, 542 U.S. 367, 380-381 (2004); Lindner v. Union Pacific R. Co., 762 F.3d 568, 572 (7th Cir. 2014). Setting aside the procedural defects in Plaintiff's request, the issue presented by the petitioni.e., Plaintiff's wish for this Court to order the Superintendent of the Winnebago County Jail to release his wallet and debit card to a third partyis frivolous. Plaintiff's ability to obtain money from his bank account to pay the filing fee in this case is a matter between him and his bank, with more than just one way to resolve the issue. Payment of the $402.00 filing fee remains due on September 25, 2023. He may pay by cashier's check or money order payable to Clerk, United States District Court. He should mail payment to Clerk, United States District Court, 219 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604, attn: Cashier's Desk. Failure to remit the fee by the above date will result in summary dismissal of this case. The Court will entertain no further letters, motions, or petitions unless or until Plaintiff pays the filing fee. Signed by the Honorable Iain D. Johnston on 9/8/2023: Mailed notice (yxp, )

August 29, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER : The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation #5 . Plaintiff is reminded that he must pay the $402.00 filing fee. See #4 . A motion for attorney representation does not satisfy the payment requirement, nor does it constitute a motion for extension of time to pay the fee. The Court, however, will sua sponte allow Plaintiff additional time to pay the fee on this one occasion only. He may pay by check or money order payable to Clerk, United States District Court. He should mail payment to Clerk, United States District Court, 219 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604, attn: Cashier's Desk. Failure to remit the fee by September 25, 2023, will result in summary dismissal of this case. The Court defers initial review of Plaintiff's complaint under 28 U.S.C. 1915A until after he has paid the filing fee. [See STATEMENT] Signed by the Honorable Iain D. Johnston on 8/29/2023.
