Chang: Plaintiff E18662F is seeking in forma pauperis status, R. 3, and he meets the indigency requiremet. However, the application is also governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), which provides for the dismissal of frivolous in forma pauperis cases. See Vey v. Clinton, 520 U.S. 937, 937 (1997). Section 1915(e)(2) applies to all litigants who seek to proceed in forma pauperis, not just prisoners. See e.g., Schottler v. Wisconsin, 388 Fed.Appx. 547, 547-548 (7th Cir. 2010) (affirming dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) for a plaintiff that is not a prisoner); Vey, 520 U.S. at 937 (same); McDowell v. Eden, 2011 WL 196937, *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2011) (same). In addressing any pro se litigants complaint, the Court must construe the complaint liberally. Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 521 (1972). Where there is an arguable basis for a claim in fact or law, leave to proceed will be granted. Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989). Here, the complaint does not state a comprehensible claim or set of facts. Perhaps Plaintiff is complaining about visitation rights at the Elgin Mental Health Center, but that is not clear (it is also not clear whether Plaintiff is the patient or was the intended visitor). And it is also not clear why he named an Assistant U.S. Attorney for conduct at the Health Center. For now, the motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff has until February 13, 2012, to file an amended complaint with an articulable claim. Failure to file by that date will result in dismissal of the case as frivolous. For monitoring purposes, a status hearing is set for February 21, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. Mailed notice (slb, ) (Entered: 01/30/2012)" @default.
