- ilnd;;1:19-cv-00525_de4 RegisterActionDescriptionText "ORDER: Plaintiff has pleaded in his complaint that he is presently being housed at Elgin Mental Health Center awaiting a hearing to determine whether he satisfies the criteria for involuntary civil commitment. Plaintiff has averred that he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in his underlying state criminal matter. Consequently, Plaintiff's application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") 3 is granted, and the filing fee for this action is waived. However, summons shall not issue. Due to the mental health issues pleaded, as well as Plaintiff's difficulty remembering the events underlying his arrest and identifying the officers involved, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation 4 . The Court recruits Richard B. Polony of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, 151 N. Franklin St., Suite 2500, Chicago, 60606 IL, to represent Plaintiff in accordance with counsel's trial bar obligations under the District Court's Local Rule 83.37 (N.D. Ill.). After investigation, counsel should notify the Court by April 3, 2019, if he wishes to proceed with the complaint on file or he intends to file an amended complaint. If counsel is unable to file an amended complaint, he should so inform the Court. The recruited attorney falls within the class of users listed in the Electronic Public Access fee schedule adopted by the Judicial Conference of the United States, therefore, the above-named attorney shall be exempt from the payment of fees for access via PACER to the electronic case files maintained in this court for the above-captioned case only. The recruited attorney is directed to open a separate PACER account to only be used for the above-captioned case, and fees are exempt for the above-captioned case only. The assigned attorney shall not be exempt from the payment of fees incurred in connection with other uses of the PACER system in this court. This exemption is valid immediately and for the duration of the attorney's participation in the matter. This exemption may be revoked at the discretion of the Court at any time. The attorney shall contact the PACER Service Center at 1-800-676 6856 or via the link below to create the new PACER account and to make any necessary arrangements for the waiver. A copy of this order shall be sent to the PACER Service Center at http://www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/register.html. A copy of this order shall also be sent to the Systems Department of the Northern District of Illinois. Counsel is encouraged to visit the Pro Bono Resources for Trial Bar Attorneys now available on the Court's homepage for various resources related to pro bono representation. Signed by the Honorable John Z. Lee on March 6, 2019. Mailed notice (ph, ) (Entered: 03/06/2019)" @default.
