Plaintiff's Amended Motion to Appoint Counsel to Perfect Appeal [Filing No. #40 ] and Motion for Reconsideration to Appeal In Forma Pauperis [Filing No. #41 ] are DENIED.

April 26, 2022 Filing 39 ENTRY - This case was dismissed with prejudice on April 12, 2022. [Filing No. 20]. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment on April 15, 2022 [Filing No. 25] and a Notice of Appeal on April 18, 2022 [Filing No. 29]. On April 23, 2022, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Complete Record for the United States Court of Appeal [Filing No. 37], asking this court to forward "the complete records, filings, and pleadings of this case" to the Court of Appeals. Plaintiff is advised that on April 21, 2022, the Clerk of Court transmitted the short record to the Court of Appeals as required by the relevant Federal and Circuit Rules of Appellate Procedure. The Court of Appeals also has full electronic access to the entire record in this Court. Plaintiff may submit any documents he chooses to the Court of Appeals in support of his appeal. The following helpful resources may be found on the Seventh Circuit's website. Plaintiff's Motion for Complete Record for the United States Court of Appeal [Filing No. 37] is DENIED.

April 25, 2022 Filing 38 ENTRY - This case was dismissed with prejudice on April 12, 2022. [Filing No. 20]. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment on April 15, 2022 [Filing No. 25] and a Notice of Appeal on April 18, 2022 [Filing No. 29]. The Court denied the Motion for Relief from Judgment on April 19, 2022 [Filing No. 28], making the notice of appeal effective. See Katerinos v. U.S. Dep't of Treasury, 368 F.3d 733, 738 (7th Cir. 2004) (recognizing that the appellate court lacks jurisdiction until a notice of appeal becomes effective, which occurs upon the district court's disposition of a pending motion for relief from judgment). On April 22, 2022, Plaintiff filed an Amended Motion for Relief from Judgment [Filing No. 35] and an Amended Affidavit and Motion for Recusal of Judge [Filing No. 36]. Because Plaintiff's perfected appeal deprives this Court of jurisdiction, see Blue Cross & Blue Shield Ass'n v. Am.
