- ilnd;;1:20-cv-02468_de24 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: On June 1, 2020, this Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why the State of Illinois should not be dismissed as a defendant, given that a State is not a "person" under section 1983. (Dckt. No. 21 ) The Court reviewed Plaintiff's response, which he styled as a motion. (Dckt. No. 23 ) To the extent that the response was a motion, it is denied. Plaintiff offers no colorable reason for retaining the State of Illinois as a defendant. Section 1983 authorizes suits against a "person," but "neither a State nor its officials acting in their official capacities are 'persons' under § 1983." Will v. Mich. Dep't of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 71 (1989); see also Phillips v. Illinois Dep't of Financial and Professional Regulation, 718 Fed. Appx. 433, 434 (7th Cir. 2018) ("[T]he statute permits suits only against a 'person,' not a state."); Thomas v. Illinois, 697 F.3d 612, 613 (7th Cir. 2012). The State of Illinois is hereby dismissed as a defendant. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) (Entered: 06/25/2020)" @default.
