	ORDER: On October 12, 2018, Plaintiff, who was incarcerated when he filed this lawsuit, notified the Court that he was no longer in custody. 31 On December 18, 2018, Plaintiff missed a court date, and the Court set a status date. 41 On December 26, 2018, the court denied Plaintiff's motion seeking attorney representation, referred him to the Pro Se Help Desk, set a status date, and warned him that he must appear in person or through counsel he retains at any court status or motion dates. 42 Plaintiff did not appear at status hearings on January 15, 2019, or February 1, 2019 44 45 , and the Court, on February 1, 2019, dismissed the case for Plaintiff's want of prosecution and entered, and amended, judgment that day. 45 46 47 Court records reflect that orders generated between October 12, 2018, through the amended judgment were sent to Plaintiff at the address he provided. 31 32 42 44 45 48 . Plaintiff by letter now states that he "ha[s]n't received any paperwork" regarding his case in an unspecified amount of time, except that he "put an [sic] motion for representation that was denied." 48 The Court's orders, sent to him at the address he provided, are presumed to have been received, United States v. Miller, 661 F.App'x 445, 448 (7th Cir. 2016) (collecting cases), and the orders warned him of his obligations and the consequences of inaction. To the extent Plaintiff seeks any relief through his letter, therefore, it is denied. This case remains closed. Signed by the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman on 8/9/2019. Mailed notice. (ym, )

25	Filed: 8/31/2018, Entered: 8/31/2018
	ORDER: Since Plaintiff's criminal proceedings terminated due to his transfer to state custody on July 6, 2018, the Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a second amended complaint that included the disposition of his criminal case and all facts, claims, parties, and exhibits Plaintiff wished the Court to consider. 19 Plaintiff submitted a second amended complaint and a notice of change of address, in which he explains that he is in state custody because he "took some time on [his] other case" but is "still fighting" the criminal charges related to the facts of this case. 21 Plaintiff has also provided another letter with an update of the criminal proceedings. 23 Because Plaintiff's underlying criminal proceedings are ongoing, the Court's request for a second amended complaint including the disposition of those proceedings was premature. The second amended complaint 22 is therefore stricken. The amended complaint 16 remains operative; service efforts are in progress. Plaintiff is reminded that the proceedings may, at Defendants' request, be stayed pending the outcome of proceedings, and he will need to submit a second amended complaint at the conclusion of the underlying criminal proceedings, as set forth in the Court's order of June 29, 2018. 15 Nothing further is required from Plaintiff at this time.

19	Filed: 7/6/2018, Entered: 7/9/2018
	ORDER: On June 29, 2018, the Court issued an order permitting Plaintiff to proceed on his amended complaint against Officers Kane and McGalvin. 15 . Plaintiff has now notified the Court of an address change. 18 The Clerk of Court accordingly is directed to: (1) update Plaintiff's address to reflect that he is now incarcerated in Stateville Correctional Center and his inmate number to M52623 18 ; (2) resend to Plaintiff at his updated address the Court's order of June 29, 2018 15 , along with an amended civil rights complaint form. The Court therefore understands that Plaintiff's criminal proceedings have terminated. Plaintiff therefore must, as indicated in that order, submit for the Court's review a second amended complaint on the Court's required form, which includes the disposition of his criminal case and all facts, claims, parties, and any exhibits Plaintiff wishes the Court to consider. The second amended complaint must stand complete on its own, without reference to the original or first amended complaint. Plaintiff must submit the second amended complaint by August 20, 2018, or this case will be summarily dismissed. Signed by the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman on 7/6/2018. Mailed notice (aee, )

	ORDER: Plaintiff may proceed on his amended complaint 13 as set forth in this order, although it appears likely that the case will be stayed until the termination of related criminal proceedings against him and that it will require an amended pleading at that time.
