Case No: 16 C 4315

MEMORANDUM ORDER
Efren Corral ("Corral") has utilized three Clerk's-Office-supplied forms -- a "Complaint
Under the Civil Rights Act, Title 42 Section 1983" (the "Complaint"), an In Forma Pauperis
Application ("Application") and a Motion for Attorney Representation ("Motion") -- to bring
what purports to be an action against Commissioner of Social Security Carolyn Colvin. But each
of those documents is hopelessly inadequate to the task:
1.

As for the Complaint, it simply names Commissioner Colvin as defendant
and is then left totally blank, except that:
(a)

a copy of a Social Security Administration "Notice of
Decision -- Unfavorable" dated June 27, 2014 and
containing the standard notification that any appeal must be
filed "within 60 days of the date you get this notice" is
attached to the Complaint form; and

(b)

Corral has also attached another page bearing his signature
and stating only: "Does not agree with judges decision on
his disability case."

2.

As for the Application, in solely financial terms it would suffice to entitle
Corral to in forma pauperis status, but it cannot be granted because of the
clearly frivolous nature of the Complaint.

3.

As for the Motion, Corral reflects that he has communicated with attorney
Barry Schultz seeking representation, but that does nothing to salvage the
plainly inadequate Complaint.

Accordingly both the Complaint and this action are dismissed with prejudice, while the
Application and the Motion are denied as moot. This is a final order terminating the case.
