Date Filed Document Text
December 28, 2021 Filing 9 MOTION for Status on Motion for IFP, filed by Plaintiff JAMES MICHAEL KAPETANIOS, SR. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit - Bartholomew Co Jail Resident Account Summary, #2 Envelope)(AKH)
December 3, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER - This cause is before the Court on Plaintiff's motion for assistance with trust account [Filing No. #5 ]. This motion is denied. The motion fails to set forth any reason why the Court needs to issue the requested order, any legal basis for providing the relief sought, and any reason why the Court could order the jail to provide the relief requested given that neither the jail nor the sheriff is a Defendant. Copy to Plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker on 12/3/2021. (SWM)
December 2, 2021 Filing 6 MARGINAL ENTRY re Plaintiff's #4 Motion for Assistance with Recruited Counsel - Motion denied. This appears to be a relatively straightforward case alleging excessive force by police. Plaintiff can read and write, has a GED, and has no mental or physical limitations. Plaintiff's incarceration certainly makes it more difficult for counsel to litigate and recruit counsel, but Plaintiff has not demonstrated that he cannot litigate or that he has fully exhausted his efforts to secure counsel on his own. Copy to Plaintiff via US Mail. Signed by Magistrate Judge Tim A. Baker on 12/2/2021. (SWM)
