February 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER GRANTING Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") (Doc. #9 ). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b)(1), Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $2.51. The agency having custody of Plaintiff is directed to forward the initial partial filing fee from Plaintiff's account to the Clerk of Court upon receipt of this Order. Plaintiff shall make monthly payments of 20% of the preceding month's income credited to Plaintiff's prison trust fund account (including all deposits to the inmate account from any source) until the $350.00 filing fee is paid in full. The agency having custody of Plaintiff shall forward payments from Plaintiff's account to the Clerk of this Court each time the amount in the account exceeds $10 until the $350.00 filing fee is paid.In addition, Plaintiff shall note that the filing fees for multiple cases cumulate. See Newlin v. Helman, 123 F.3d 429, 436 (7th Cir. 1997), overruled in part on other grounds by Lee v. Clinton, 209 F.3d 1025 (7th Cir. 2000); Walker v. O'Brien, 216 F.3d 626 (7th Cir. 2000). A prisoner who files one suit must remit 20% of his monthly income to the Clerk of the Court until his fees have been paid; a prisoner who files a second suit or an appeal must remit 40%; and so on. Newlin, 123 F.3d at 436. "Five suits or appeals mean that the prisoner's entire monthly income must be turned over to the court until the fees have been paid." Id. Payments shall be mailed to: Clerk of the Court, United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, 750 Missouri Avenue, East St. Louis, Illinois 62201. The Clerk is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to the Trust Fund Officer at the Lawrence Correctional Center upon entry of this Order. Plaintiff's Motion in Partial Compliance (Doc. #10 ) is DENIED as moot. Plaintiff's prisoner trust fund account information was received along with his Motion to Proceed IFP (Doc. #9 ). Signed by Judge Staci M. Yandle on 2/14/2020. (tjk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
February 14, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ORDER: The Court has received your motion to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee. After your filing fee status is determined, the Court will review your complaint to identify legally sufficient claims and defendants and dismiss any legally insufficient claims. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915A. The Court will conduct this review within the next 60 days and inform you of the findings in a Merit Review Order. No other action will be taken in your case during this time, absent extraordinary circumstances. Therefore, you do not need to submit any evidence, argument, motions, or other documents. If you filed a motion for recruitment of counsel along with your complaint, it will not be considered until the merit review is complete. Please note that any motion for recruitment of counsel must include evidence of your own efforts to find counsel, such as a list of the attorneys you contacted and copies of letters you sent or received. See Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654-55 (7th Cir. 2007). If you do not receive a Merit Review Order within the next 60 days, you may file a motion requesting the status of your case. In the event your claim(s) survive the merit review, further information and instruction will be provided to you at that time. In addition, several administrative matters warrant mention. Any communication directed to the Court should be in the form of a motion or other pleading and not a letter. Finally, you are advised that if your address changes, you must notify the Court within seven days of the change by filing a Notice of Change of Address. Failure to do so could result in the dismissal of your case. Signed by Judge Staci M. Yandle on 2/14/2020. (tjk)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

January 10, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ORDER: Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Doc. #2 ) is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1 ) relates only to grievance staff and events at Pinckneyville Correctional Center. Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction relates to events and circumstances at Lawrence Correctional Center and involves wholly different parties. Preliminary injunctive relief sought in a case must relate to the claims pending in the underlying lawsuit. See Devose v. Herrington, 42 F.3d 470, 471 (8th Cir. 1994) (holding that a party moving for a preliminary injunction must necessarily establish a relationship between the injury claimed in the partys motion and the conduct asserted in the complaint). As the Motion does not relate to the claims in the Complaint, it must be denied. If Plaintiff wishes to pursue claims (including preliminary injunctive relief) regarding the situation at Lawrence, he must file a separate Complaint in a new case. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to terminate D. Brookhart and Director of IDOC from the CM/ECF system in this case. Signed by Judge Staci M. Yandle on 1/10/2020.
