UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
VERNON H. QUINN, JR.,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 16-cv-810-JPG-SCW

CITIBANK,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on plaintiff Vernon H. Quinn, Jr.’s motion for leave to
proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 3). In its August 29, 2016, order (Doc. 5), the Court questioned
whether it had subject matter jurisdiction over Quinn’s claim as currently pled and allowed him
until September 26, 2016, to amend his complaint to allege facts showing the Court has diversity
jurisdiction. It further warned Quinn that if he failed to timely file an amended complaint with the
required information, the Court would deny his motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
would dismiss this case without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction. Quinn has not filed a timely
amended complaint. Accordingly, as it warned it would, the Court DENIES Quinn’s motion for
leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 3) because this action fails to state a claim upon which
this Court can grant relief. The Court further DISMISSES this action without prejudice
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) for lack of jurisdiction and DIRECTS the Clerk of Court
to enter judgment accordingly.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: October 3, 2016
