Sipp v. Colvin

Filing 31

MEMORANDUM Order: During the pendency of this Social Security appeal brought by pro se plaintiff Matthew Sipp ("Sipp"), this Court granted him leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). Then, after extensive briefing on both si des, this Court entered a comprehensive memorandum order on March 30, 2017 that granted the motion of Social Security Commissioner Nancy Berryhill and dismissed this action. Now this Court's periodic review of printouts that list motions pending in cases assigned or previously assigned to its calendar has disclosed that on May 1 Sipp had inexplicably filed an In Forma Pauperis Application ("Application") [Dkt. No. 30] on the Clerk's-Office-supplied form made available for use by litigants seeking IFP status. With this action having been terminated just a bit more than a month before that Application was filed, it is simply denied as moot. Signed by the Honorable Milton I. Shadur on 5/23/2017:Mailed notice(clw, )

Case No. 16 C 7261

MEMORANDUM ORDER
During the pendency of this Social Security appeal brought by pro se plaintiff Matthew
Sipp ("Sipp"), this Court granted him leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP"). Then, after
extensive briefing on both sides, this Court entered a comprehensive memorandum order on
March 30, 2017 that granted the motion of Social Security Commissioner Nancy Berryhill and
dismissed this action.
Now this Court's periodic review of printouts that list motions pending in cases assigned
or previously assigned to its calendar has disclosed that on May 1 Sipp had inexplicably filed an
In Forma Pauperis Application ("Application") [Dkt. No. 30] on the Clerk's-Office-supplied
form made available for use by litigants seeking IFP status. With this action having been
terminated just a bit more than a month before that Application was filed, it is simply denied as
moot.
