TEXT ORDER denying #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. The Plaintiff has filed an Amended Complaint (ECF No. 6) and a Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (IFP) (ECF No. 3), which requires the Court to determine whether the Complaint states a plausible federal claim for relief. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 667 (2009) (plausible claim standard); 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (screening required). The Complaint does not state a plausible federal claim for relief. The Plaintiff alleges federal question jurisdiction, presumably for a denial of civil rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983. The Statute of Limitations for a 1983 action, or any personal injury action brought in this Court, is generally three years, Riggs v. Curran, 196 F. Supp. 3d 338, 340 (DRI 2016). Here, Mr. Perkins complains about events which occurred in 2019 and 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and fall outside the three-year statute of limitations. The Complaint is therefore DISMISSED and the IFP Motion is DENIED as moot.So Ordered by Chief Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. on 3/18/2026. (Kenny, Meghan)
