Minute

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion to reconsider 12 is denied. The court understands that plaintiff has limited means currently, and has incurred litigation costs due to the number of lawsuits and appeals plaintiff has filed, but the court nevertheless concludes that a $100 prepayment is an appropriate prepayment for plaintiff. Plaintiff's representations to date suggest that he is capable of being employed and earning income. Plaintiff is further advised that "every litigant has a legal responsibility to pay the filing and docketing fees to the extent feasible. All that permission to proceed in forma pauperis has ever meant is that the fees need not be pre-paid." Longbehn v. United States, 169 F.3d 1082, 1083 (7th Cir. 1999). "Section 1915 allows, but does not compel, courts to permit destitute plaintiffs to proceed without prepayment of fees." Campbell v. Clarke, 481 F.3d 967, 969 (7th Cir. 2007). No appearance on the motion is necessary. Plaintiff's fee and amended complaint remain due 2/23/23. Notices mailed. (psm, ) (Entered: 02/06/2023)
