- ilnd;;1:19-cv-02898_de7 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff's handwritten, 18-page complaint, which references more than 50 defendants at various hospitals and organizations, is dismissed on initial review under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) because it fails to state a federal claim and is frivolous. See Rowe v. Shake, 196 F.3d 778, 783 (7th Cir. 1999) (district courts have the power to screen complaints filed by all litigants, prisoners and non-prisoners alike, regardless of fee status; courts may screen the complaint prior to service on the defendants, and must dismiss the complaint if it fails to state a claim). Plaintiff appears to allege that she was terminated from a ministry program, 1 at p. 1, and from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, id. at p. 2. But the former took place over three years ago, and the latter took place in 1986. So any employment-related claim would be barred. See, e.g., Carroll v. Chicago Transit Auth., No. 01 C 8300, 2002 WL 206064, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 8, 2002) (In Illinois, a plaintiff must bring a charge under Title VII or the ADA before the EEOC within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory act, and failure to file within the 300day time frame renders allegations of discrimination untimely.) (citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e5(e); 42 U.S.C. § 12117(a); Hall v. Bodine Elec. Co., 276 F.3d 345, 352 (7th Cir. 2002)). Plaintiff also appears to be alleging some sort of misconduct in connection with medical treatment throughout the years: among other things, she alleges that a caucasian nurse at Norwegian gave her a shot after the security guard and counselor raped her; she alleges that at Providence Hospital emergency room doctors, nurses, and technicians used their computers outside her unit; she alleges that counselors at Norwegian took notes on her ideas; she alleges that two doctors at Mercy Hospital shoved tongue depressors down her throat and told her about her mother's death, which was over 50 years ago. She seeks one hundred billion dollars. Plaintiff's allegations are frivolous and fail to implicate any constitutional violations. Additionally, Plaintiff's allegations make clear that all of the alleged conduct took place more than two years ago and would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations anyway. E.g., CBS Outdoor, Inc. v. Vill. of Plainfield, Ill., 959 F. Supp. 2d 1054, 1061 (N.D. Ill. 2013) (Section 1983 claims arising in Illinois are governed by a two-year statute of limitations.). Accordingly, her application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis 4 is denied, her complaint 1 is dismissed on initial review, and this case is closed. All pending motions, including Plaintiff's motion for attorney representation 5 , are denied. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice (gel, ) (Entered: 05/06/2019)" @default.
