TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colleen R. Lawless on 2/28/2025. Plaintiff Christopher Leone, a La Salle County Jail detainee, filed a largely incomprehensible document1 in this Court. Plaintiff's filing seeks certification programs, grants, and education and job skills training but neither names Defendants nor provides facts that establish or permit the inference that an individual acting under color of state law deprived him of a constitutional right. Estate of Perry v. Wenzel, 872 F.3d 439, 452 (7th Cir. 2017). As a result, Plaintiff's filing does not comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2), which mandates a pleading contain a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that [he] is entitled to relief." To the extent Plaintiff intended to file a Complaint, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff thirty days from the entry of this Order to file an Amended Complaint. If Plaintiff elects to do so, his amended pleading must specify the constitutional violation, when it occurred, and the Defendant or Defendants personally involved. See Gentry v. Duckworth, 65 F.3d 555, 561 (7th Cir. 1995) ("To recover damages under Sec 1983, a plaintiff must establish that a defendant was personally responsible for the deprivation of a constitutional right."). If Plaintiff does not file an amended pleading before the deadline expires or does not request an extension of time to comply BEFORE the deadline expires, the Court will dismiss his case. The Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to send Plaintiff the Court's Complaint and Petition to Proceed in forma pauperis forms. Accordingly, Plaintiff filing1 is dismissed for failure to state a plausible claim for relief. (KE)
