STATEMENT

Plaintiff, Anthony Davis, a prisoner at Stateville Correctional Center, has brought this pro se civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1),
Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $4.40. The trust fund officer at the Stateville Correctional Center is
authorized and ordered to collect, when funds exist, the partial filing fee from Plaintiffs trust fund account and pay it
directly to the Clerk of Court. After payment of the initial partial filing fee, Plaintiff's trust fund officer is directed to
collect monthly payments from Plaintiffs trust fund account in an amount equal to 20% of the preceding month’s
income credited to the account. Monthly payments shall be forwarded to the Clerk of Court each time the amount in
the account exceeds $10 until the full $350 filing fee is paid. All payments shall be sent to the Clerk, United States
District Court, 219 S. Dearborn St., Chicago, Illinois 60604, attn: Cashier’s Desk, 20th Floor, and shall clearly identify
Plaintiff's name and the case number assigned to this action. The trust fund officer shall notify transferee authorities
of any outstanding balance in the event Plaintiff is transferred from the jail to another correctional facility.

Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, the Court is required to conduct a prompt initial review of prisoner complaints
against governmental entities or employees.

Plaintiff alleges that in May 2010, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. At that time, Dr. Ghosh informed
Plaintiff that he would be sent for treatment once funds were approved by Wexford Health Source, Inc. Since that
time, Plaintiff has not received any treatment for his cancer and he has submitted several grievances and formal
complaints to, and against, the named Defendants regarding the lack of proper medical treatment. Plaintiff continues
to have severe pain and weight loss. The Defendants must respond to Plaintiff's complaint.

The United States Marshals Service is appointed to serve the Defendants. Any service forms necessary for
Plaintiff to complete will be sent by the Marshal as appropriate to serve Defendants with process. The U.S. Marshal is
directed to make all reasonable efforts to serve Defendants. With respect to any former employee who can no longer
be found at the work address provided by Plaintiff, the Illinois Department of Corrections and/or Wexford Health
Source, Inc., shall furnish the Marshal with Defendant’s last-known address. The information shall be used only for
purposes of effectuating service [or for proof of service, should a dispute arise] and any documentation of the address
shall be retained only by the Marshal. Address information shall not be maintained in the court file, nor disclosed by

the Marshal. The Marshal is authorized to mail a request for waiver of service to Defendants in the manner prescribed
by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2) before attempting personal service.

Furthermore, in light of the seriousness of Plaintiff's allegations and the need for medical attention, Plaintiff's
motion for appointment of counsel is granted. The Court appoints Monica L. Thompson of DLA Piper US LLP IL,

203 North LaSalle Street, 20th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60601, 312-368-4000, to represent Plaintiff in accordance with
counsel’s trial bar obligations under the District Court’s Local Rule 83.37. Failure of Plaintiff to notify the Court and
counsel of any change in mailing address or telephone number may result in dismissal of this lawsuit with prejudice.
