Filing 5
ORDER: The Complaint (Doc. #1 ) in this newly-filed action appears to largely duplicate Plaintiff's claims in Walker v. Thompson, Case No. 23-1466-SMY (filed May 1, 2023). Plaintiff names the same Defendants in both cases (but adds Centralia Correctional Center as a party in this new case). Plaintiff's claims in both cases arise from the same incident of electrocution at Centralia in 2021. Plaintiff is therefore ORDERED to notify the Court in writing, on or before August 1, 2023, whether he intended to file a new, separate case when he submitted the Complaint on July 13, 2023, filed under Case No. 23-2430-SMY, or whether the new Complaint should be filed as an amended pleading in the original case (No. 23-1466-SMY). If Plaintiff wishes to proceed only in the original case, the new action (No. 23-2430-SMY) will be closed and no new filing fee will be assessed. ( Action due by 8/1/2023.). Signed by Judge Staci M. Yandle on 7/18/2023. (beb)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

Filing 3
NOTICE AND ORDER: The Court has received your complaint and your motion to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee. Your case number is 23-2430-SMY. The following is some information you should know regarding the initial stages of your lawsuit. 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. All mail should be sent to: Clerk's Office, U.S. District Court, 750 Missouri Avenue, East St. Louis, IL 62201. 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 7/13/2023. (kare)
