September 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 32 MOTION to Update Party by Micheal N.B. Attaway. (jaj)
September 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 31 NOTICE: The Court has received from Plaintiff, Discovery Interrogatories and Request for Documents. These documents will not be filed as they would violate this Court's Local Rule 26.1(b). No discovery materials shall be filed. Your documents were received by e-mail, therefore, will not be returned to you. (jaj)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
September 14, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 30 ORDER: The Court received Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint, along with ten motions on September 13, 2023. One of the motions requests for the Court to "hold of[f] on deciding the most recent motions," with the exception of the motion to proceed in forma pauperis, as Plaintiff is in the process of attempting to settle with the defendants. (Doc. #27 ). The motion to "hold off" is DENIED. The Court sees no reason to wait on ruling on the motions, as none of the motions require a response from the defendants. The Court DENIES Plaintiff's various requests for injunctive relief. (Doc. #19 , #20 , #23 , #24 ). Plaintiff filed this case pursuant to Section 1983, and he cannot seek release from custody under this statute (Doc. #19 ). See Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475, 499 (1973). The Court will not order Shawnee Correctional Center to produce to Plaintiff his medical records, as the defendants have not been served and discovery has not commenced in this case (Doc. #20 ). Plaintiff also has not demonstrated he is entitled to a preliminary injunction in the form of an order of protection. (Doc. #23 ). Plaintiff claims he was attacked and raped by another inmate, but he has not provided any facts or details from which the Court can infer he still faces a specific threat of immediate and irreparable harm from this inmate. See Wright v. Miller, 561 F. Appx 551, 554 (7th Cir. 2014) ("a speculative fear of injury is not a ground for an injunction."). Finally, the Court will not enter a court order against Hallcon's Safety Director. The Court does not have jurisdiction over Hallcon's Safety Director, who was terminated as a party to this case and is not named as a defendant in the First Amended Complaint (Doc. #24 ). The motion requesting addresses of certain defendants is DENIED and the motion for status on service is GRANTED. (Doc. #22 , #25 ). The Court has received Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint and will review the complaint to identify legally sufficient claims and defendants and dismiss any legally insufficient claims. 28 U.S.C. 1915A. If the First Amended Complaint survives preliminary review, then the Clerk will be directed to serve the defendants on Plaintiff's behalf. See Sellers v. United States, 902 F.2d 598, 602 (7th Cir.1990). Until this review is completed, no other action will be taken in this case. The motion to add Dr. David as a defendant is DENIED as moot. Dr. David is already listed as a defendant in the First Amended Complaint. (Doc. #26 ). The motion for status on the motion to proceed IFP is GRANTED. (Doc. #28 ). The motion to proceed IFP has been granted. (See Doc. 29). The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to send Plaintiff a copy of the docket sheet. Finally, the Court notes that since commencing this lawsuit, Plaintiff has filed sixteen motions. Considering this case is less than two months old, defendants have not been served, and a majority of the motions are premature or have no legal merit, this type of excessive motions practice needlessly creates a burden for the Clerk's office and consumes a significant portion of limited judicial resources. Plaintiff is WARNED to refrain from continuing to file motions that are reactionary, overly generalized, or absent any thought and careful consideration. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 9/14/2023. (jrj)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
September 14, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ORDER GRANTING Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") (Doc. #18 ). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b)(1), Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $4.22. 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 send a copy of this Order to the Trust Fund Officer at the Shawnee Correctional Center upon entry of this Order. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 9/14/2023.
