- ilnd;;1:15-cv-01000_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER Signed by the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras on 6/2/2015: On February 6, 2015, this Court dismissed Plaintiff Kenneth Howards complaint against hisappointed public defender and the Law Office of the Cook County Public Defender for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. (Dkt. No. 5.) 5832FD1 has since submitted a motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. No. 6.)In the motion, 5832FD1 seeks to represent the interests of other detainees as a class. 5832FD1, however, is not qualified to prosecute claims on behalf of a class. See Oxendine v. Williams, 509 F.2d 1405, 1407 (4th Cir. 1975) (holding that it would be plain error to permit imprisoned pro se litigant to represent his fellow inmates in a class action); accord Bentz v. Butler, No. 14-cv-0996,2015 WL 1361013, at *1 n.1 (S.D. Ill. Mar. 23, 2015) (concluding that a prisoner proceeding pro se is inadequate to represent the interests of a class as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(4)). 5832FD1 has no claim in this case, moreover, because his individual claims were dismissed for the reasonsstated in the Courts February 6, 2015, Order. Howards motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No.6) is therefore denied. The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Order, as well as the Courts February 6, 2015,Order dismissing this case, to 5832FD1. The case remains closed.(gcy, ) (Entered: 06/03/2015)" @default.
