Filing 6
ORDER: Pursuant to the Order at Doc. 4, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 5). Plaintiff explains that he knew his name was included among those plaintiffs who brought Hill v. Bradley, et al., No. 26-cv-00670-JPG (S.D. Ill. filed May 18, 2026), but he thought the case would proceed as a class action and without any obligation to pay a filing fee. He does not wish to proceed with this severed case. Consequently, the action is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(i). This dismissal shall not count as a "strike" within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 1915(g), and no filing fee is assessed for this action consistent with the Order at Doc. 4. Plaintiff's motion (Doc. 5) is TERMINATED, and this case is ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 6/16/2026. (jsy) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

Filing 4
ORDER: On 5/21/2026, this case was severed from Eric Hall, et al. v. Bradley, et al., SDIL Case No. 26-cv-0670-JPG. Plaintiff should be aware of the consequences of proceeding with this action. First, the Court will screen the action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915A, and Plaintiff will incur a strike within the meaning of section 1915(g) if the Court determines that the action is frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted, or seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. Second, Plaintiff will be required to pay an additional $405.00 filing fee in this case ($350.00 if he is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis). Of course, Plaintiff can also opt not to proceed with this action by voluntarily dismissing it, thereby avoiding the risk of a strike and the financial burden of an additional filing fee. Plaintiff should carefully consider these points, along with the merits and relative importance of this lawsuit, in deciding whether to proceed with it. Plaintiff shall have until June 17, 2026, to advise the Court in writing whether he wishes to proceed with this lawsuit. If he chooses to go forward, he should also send the $405.00 filing fee, or a motion and affidavit for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (along with the required certification and Trust Fund statement). After the fee status is resolved, the Court will screen the complaint. On the other hand, if Plaintiff opts to voluntarily dismiss the case by the deadline, he will not have to pay a filing fee, the Court will not screen the complaint, and the case will be dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff is WARNED that if he fails to respond to this Order by the deadline, he will be obligated to pay the full filing fee, and this action will be dismissed for want of prosecution and/or for failure to comply with a court order. Signed by Judge J. Phil Gilbert on 5/22/2026. (mado)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
