- ilnd;;1:20-cv-01792_de655 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: This order is entered by Judge Kennelly as the assigned judge in Case No. 20 C 2583. The Court (acting as both emergency judge and assigned judge) previously entered an order directing the plaintiff in this case to refile a complete and correct in forma pauperis (IFP) form, identifying problems with the one he had filed. Plaintiff has now filed a motion asking to withdraw his IFP motion without prejudice, saying that the form can be completed only in paper form--and thus the illegibility issues the Court noted might still exist--and that the clerk's office would not accept a credit card payment from him for the filing fee. First of all, if plaintiff wishes to pay the filing fee, he may do so by way of a check. If he wishes to do that, he would be able to come into the Dirksen Courthouse to drop off an envelope containing a check for the filing fee payable to the Clerk, in an envelope properly addressed to the Clerk in which he identifies the case number. Plaintiff would be able to put this in the "drop box" on the lobby floor, which is picked up by Clerk's office personnel daily. Second, after reviewing plaintiff's new motion, the Court checked and learned that, as plaintiff reported, there was no IFP form on the district court website in a fillable PDF format, as was supposed to be the case. As a result of plaintiff's motion, however, this has now been fixed, and the Court has just confirmed that a fillable PDF form is now up and working. So plaintiff may complete a new IFP form by using the fillable PDF form on the website if he wishes. Third, the Court is unwilling to adopt plaintiff's request to completely bypass the process of paying the filing fee or obtaining a waiver of the fee via a proper IFP motion. Plaintiff's emergency motion 621 is terminated as moot in light of the fact that plaintiff can complete a new IFP form via the fillable PDF form on the district court website. As indicated in the Court's May 1 order, however, if any new form that plaintiff files, like the old one, purports to contend that plaintiff has lived on a grand total of $1200 from all sources over the past twelve months, that seems implausible on its face, and plaintiff should expect to have to provide a further explanation, which he may do by way of a filing that is separate from the IFP form. The Court also advises plaintiff that further filings should be made on the docket in 20 C 2583 only and need not be made on the emergency docket. (mk) (Entered: 05/04/2020)" @default.
