- ilcd;;1:16-cv-01183_de2 RegisterActionDescriptionText "TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sara Darrow on 05/31/2016. The Plaintiff has sent a letter to the Court which has been filed as a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983. See Bahler v Lopez, 2007 WL 1375924 (7th Cir. May 10, 2007)(clerk may not refuse pro se plaintiffs initial submission, a letter, for failing to follow Fed.R.Civ.P 8). However, it is not clear to the court whether the Plaintiff intended to open a lawsuit. If the Plaintiff DID intend to open a lawsuit, he must either pay the $400 filing fee in full or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis on or before June 22, 2016. The Plaintiff must also file an amended complaint more clearly stating his intended claims and identifying his intended Defendants. The Plaintiff must file his amended complaint on or before June 22, 2016. The clerk is to send the Plaintiff a blank complaint form and ifp form to assist the Plaintiff. If the Plaintiff did NOT intend to open a lawsuit, he should state so in writing and provide this information to the court on or before June 22, 2016. The Court will then dismiss this lawsuit and waive the filing fee. If the Plaintiff does not respond by the June 22, 2016 deadline and inform the Court whether or not he intended to pursue litigation, the Court will assume the Plaintiff DID intend to file a lawsuit and he will be responsible for payment of the $400 filing fee even if his case is eventually dismissed. The Clerk of the Court is also to set an internal merit review deadline in 30 days. Finally, Plaintiff states his letter should be filed under seal, but has provided no basis for this request. Therefore, his request is denied.(ED, ilcd) (Entered: 05/31/2016)" @default.
