1:04-cv-05381 Nance-v-Hinsley
Docket Date: 12/30/04
MINUTE ORDER of 12/27/04 by Hon. Blanche M. Manning :
Petitioner Ellean Nance has filed a motion for an extension
of time to file a motion to reconsider the court's 12/6/04,
order dismissing his case [15-1] [16-1]. This order was
entered on the court's docket on 12/8/04. Motions to
reconsider filed within ten business days of the entry date
of a judgment are evaluated under Fed.R. Civ. P.59. The
court cannot extend the time to file a rule 59 motion.
Prizevoits v. Indiana Bell Tel. Co., 76 F. 3d 132, 133(7th
Cir.1996). Here, ten business days after 12/8/04. This date
has already passed. Thus, any motion to reconsider will be
evaluated under Fed. R.Civ. 60, and any such motion would
still be timely in February of 2005. Mr. Nance's motion
[16-1] is thus denied. The court also notes that the 30 day
period in which Mr. Nance may appeal began run on 12/8/04
and is not affected by Mr. Nance's stated intent to file a
Rule 60 motion. Mailed notice

Docket Date: 12/28/04
MINUTE ORDER of 12/27/04 by Hon. Marvin E. Aspen : As
Tsau's only basis for relief is his alleged entitlement to
federal funding to develop his scientific theory, his
complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted. Tsau's request to direct the NSF to change its
method of evaluating funding proposals is not appropriately
before this court. A complaint may not seek a court to
create legislation. NSF's motion to dismiss Tsau's
complaint is granted [3-1]. The in court hearing set for
12/30/04 is stricken. Entered Memorandum Opinion and
Order. terminating case Notices mailed by judge's

MINUTE ORDER of 12/27/04 by Hon. Harry D. Leinenweber:
Reference is made to the plaintiff's recent
change-of-address notice [20-1]. The plaintiff continues to
ignore the court's basic filing instructions. The
plaintiff, a highly experienced litigator, is reminded that
he must: (1) provide the court with the original plus a
judge's copy of every document filed; and (2) include a
certificate of service showing that a copy of every court
filing was mailed to opposing counsel. The plaintiff is
directed to advise defense counsel of his current address
within fourteen days of the date of this order; the
plaintiff must also file a certificate of compliance with
the court verifying that he has done so. In the future, the
court may strike without considering any document filed
that fails to comport with the court's basic filing
requirements. Mailed notice
