ENTRY
I.
On December 30, 2011, Plaintiff filed her Objection to a Magistrate. The
objection [9] is frivolous and is denied. The reason the objection is frivolous is
because it is premised on the plaintiff’s misapprehension of the proper roles of
judicial officers in federal civil litigation.
II.
“Once a party invokes the judicial system by filing a lawsuit, it must abide by
the rules of the court; a party cannot decide for itself when it feels like pressing its
action and when it feels like taking a break because trial judges have a
responsibility to litigants to keep their court calendars as current as humanly
possible.” James v. McDonald’s Corp., 417 F.3d 672, 681 (7th Cir. 2005), citing GCIU
Employer Ret. Fund v. Chicago Tribune Co., 8 F.3d 1195, 1198-99 (7th Cir.
1993)(internal quotations omitted). The plaintiff is admonished to take heed of the
foregoing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
