ORDER DENYING AS MOOT PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
TO ALTER JUDGMENT (DKT. NO. 31)
______________________________________________________________________________
On July 18, 2016, the court screened the plaintiff’s complaint under 28
U.S.C. §1915A and dismissed the case without prejudice. Dkt. No. 8. The court
approved entry of the judgment on July 19, 2016. Dkt. No. 9.1 On July 10,
2017, the plaintiff filed a motion to correct the judgment of the district court.
Dkt. No. 31. He contends that this court erred when it imposed a “strike” (see
28 U.S.C. §1915(g)) on him when it dismissed his complaint and entered
judgment. Dkt. No. 31 at 2. This court, however, did not impose a strike. See
Dkt. Nos. 8, 9. The Seventh Circuit—the appellate court—imposed a strike in
its April 20, 2017 decision. Dkt. No. 30. This court cannot remove that strike—
The plaintiff appealed, and on April 20, 2017, the Court of Appeals for the
Seventh Circuit affirmed this court’s rejection of the plaintiff’s argument
concerning representation on appeal. See Brown v. Wisconsin State Public
Defender’s Office, 854 F.3d 916 (7th Cir. 2017). The court of appeals issued the
mandate on May 18, 2017. Dkt. No. 30.
