| Filing 8 NOTICE of Appearance by Julian Clifford Wierenga on behalf of Defendant ANDREW M. SAUL. (Wierenga, Julian) |
| Filing 7 NOTICE of Change of Attorney Information. Consistent with Local Rule 5-3, C. David Little hereby notifies the Clerk of the court of changed contact information. (Little, C.) |
| Filing 6 ENTRY - Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, [Filing No. 2], is GRANTED. 28 U.S.C. 1915(a). While in forma pauperis status allows the plaintiff to proceed without pre-payment of the filing fee, the plaintiff remains liable for the full fees. Robbins v. Switzer, 104 F.3d 895, 898 (7th Cir. 1997) (Every in forma pauperis litigant is liable for the filing fee; "all [18 U.S.C.] 1915(a) does for any litigant is excuse the pre-payment of fees") (emphasis in original). The Court does not have the authority to waive the filing fee, and it remains due despite Plaintiff's in forma pauperis status. Fiorito v. Samuels, 2016 WL 3636968, *2 (C.D. Ill. 2016) ("The Court does not have the authority to waive a filing fee"); McDaniel v. Meisner, 2015 WL 4773135, *5 (E.D. Wis. 2015) (same principle). The filing fee for in forma pauperis litigants is $350. See USDC Fee Schedule at https://www.insd.uscourts.gov/fees-financial-information (stating that the $400 filing fee includes a $50 administrative fee, but that the administrative fee "does not apply to...persons granted in forma pauperis status under 28 U.S.C. 1915"). Immediate payment is not required. However, the $350 balance remains owing. Copy to U.S. Attorney via U.S. mail. Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 5/28/2019. (JDH) |
