KRISTINE HAMMERMEISTER,
Defendant.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
On August 16, 2011, I ordered plaintiff Charles Hooper to submit an amended affidavit
of indigency that shows how he is able to pay for basic needs such as food and shelter. Plaintiff
has submitted the requested affidavit. In his affidavit, he says that since his release from jail on
August 3, 2011, he lives from place to place and eats at the food pantries in the Chicago area.
He further states that he has no money. Because plaintiff is indigent, he may proceed without
any prepayment of fees or costs.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaints are taken under advisement.
As soon as the court’s calendar permits, plaintiff’s complaints will be screened pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915 to determine whether the cases must be dismissed either because the complaints
are frivolous or malicious, fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted or seek monetary
relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief. Plaintiff will be notified promptly
when such a decision has been made. In the meantime, if plaintiff needs to communicate with

the court about these cases, he should be sure to write the case numbers shown above on his
communication.

Entered this 29 th day of August, 2011.
