Case No. 12-cv-820-JPG
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
GILBERT, District Judge:
On, 11/23/2009, Plaintiff Richard Kelly was barred from filing any new papers in this
Court. (See Case No. 3:07-cv-339 GPM) until such time as he pays to the Clerk of the Court a
monetary penalty in the amount of $200 as sanctions for filing offensive and harassing fillings
with this Court. Excluded from the bar are a notice of appeal from the sanctions order; a petition
for writ of habeas corpus; and any papers sought to be filed in a criminal case to which he is a
party defendant.
Plaintiff has not paid said fine, nor made any attempt to do so. The Court having no
reason to lift this ban, it remains in effect.
Plaintiff, who remains incarcerated in Tamms, nevertheless filed his most recent case in
the Central District of Illinois. Whatsover Plaintiff’s reasons for filing in that jurisdiction, the
1
cause is now before this Court for consideration and is subject to the filing restrictions
previously imposed. The case shall be dismissed without prejudice.
If Plaintiff attempts to file a document, other than the exceptions noted above, with this
Court without paying the sanction or demonstrating that it has been paid in full, the Clerk of the
Court shall docket such filing for administrative purposes only, and immediately terminate the
motion or close any new case resulting from the filing after placing a copy of this order in the
case file. The Court will not otherwise address or acknowledge submissions that are filed
without payment of the sanction or demonstration that the sanction has been paid.
Pending Motions
Plaintiff’s Motion for Order Allowing Access to Electronic Filing and Motion for Order
Regarding Law Library Access (Doc. 7, 10) are denied as MOOT for the reasons stated above.
Plaintiff is WARNED that additional sanctions may be imposed for further abuses of the
litigation process or disregard for orders of this Court.
Disposition
The case shall be dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this
Court’s order previously imposed on 11/23/09 in Case No. 3:07-cv-339 pursuant to.FED. R. CIV.
P. 41. Plaintiff’s obligation to pay the filing fee for this action was incurred at the time the
action was filed, thus the filing fee of $350 remains due and payable. See 28 U.S.C. §
1915(b)(1); Lucien v. Jockisch, 133 F.3d 464, 467 (7th Cir. 1998).
The Clerk of the Court shall CLOSE this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: August 23, 2012
