v. Case No. 21-cv-01495-SPM

ADVANCED CORRECTIONAL HEALTH CARE, et al.,

Defendants.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

MCGLYNN, District Judge: Plaintiff Darion Wilson filed this civil action pursuant to

42 U.S.C. § 1983

for violations of his constitutional rights that occurred at White County Jail. The Complaint did not survive screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and was dismissed without prejudice. (Doc. 19). The Court granted Wilson an opportunity to replead his claims in an amended complaint. He was directed to file a First Amended Complaint on or before August 23, 2022. He was advised that failure to file an amended complaint by the deadline would result in dismissal of this case. Wilson missed the deadline. Over a month has passed since it expired, and he has not requested an extension or filed an amended complaint. The Court will not allow this matter to linger indefinitely. Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED with prejudice for failure to state a claim as stated in the Merit Review Order. (Doc. 13). This action is also dismissed due to Wilson’s failure to comply with an order of the Court and for failure to prosecute his claims. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b); Ladien v. Astrachan,

128 F.3d 1051

(7th Cir. 1997); Johnson v. Kamminga,

34 F.3d 466

(7th Cir. 1994). Wilson is ADVISED that his obligation to pay the filing fee for this action was incurred at the time the action was filed. Therefore, the filing fee of $350.00 remains due and payable. See

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(b)(1); Lucien v. Jockisch,

133 F.3d 464, 467

(7th Cir. 1998). If Wilson wishes to appeal this order, he must file a notice of appeal with this Court within

thirty days of the entry of judgment. FED. R. APP. P. 4(a)(1)(A). If he does choose to appeal, he will be liable for the $505.00 appellate filing fee irrespective of the outcome of the appeal. See FED. R. APP. P. 3(e);

28 U.S.C. § 1915

(e)(2); Ammons v. Gerlinger,

547 F.3d 724, 725-26

(7th Cir. 2008); Sloan v. Lesza,

181 F.3d 857, 858-59

(7th Cir. 1999); Lucien,

133 F.3d at 467

. Wilson must list each of the issues he intends to appeal in the notice of appeal and his motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. See FED. R. APP. P. 24(a)(1)(C). A proper and timely motion filed pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) may toll the 30-day appeal deadline. FED. R. APP. P. 4(a)(4). A Rule 59(e) motion must be filed no more than twenty-eight (28) days after the entry of judgment, and this 28-day deadline cannot be extended. The Clerk’s Office is DIRECTED to close this case and enter judgment accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
