IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
EASTERN DIVISION

MAURICE L. JONES,
Plaintiff,
v.

No. 02 C 4806 "00K Ten

COCA COLA BOTTLING COMPANY, uN lg 2092

Defendant.
MEMORANDUM ORDER

Maurice Jones (“Jones”) has submitted a Complaint of
Employment Discrimination against his former employer Coca Cola
Bottling Company (“Coca Cola”), using the form provided by the
Clerk's Office for that purpose and charging that his firing by
Coca Cola was the product of race discrimination (Jones is
African American). Together with his Complaint, Jones has
tendered two forms also made available by the Clerk's Office: an
Application To Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees (“Application”)
and a Motion for Appointment of Counsel (“Motion”).

Because Jones' Motion appears to be reasonably supported in
terms of his inability to obtain counsel on a paying basis, this
Court contemplates appointing a member of the District Court
trial bar to represent him pro bono publico as and when this
action is accepted for filing. But the Application reflects that
even though he is unemployed, Jones collects over $22,000 yearly
in unemployment compensation--and although he reports no current

assets, some elaboration is needed as to why he cannot reasonably


take care of the $150 filing fee in the near future.

This Court expresses no ultimate view on that last subject.
It is rather that Jones must flesh out his assertion as to his
inability to pay any fee. Accordingly he is ordered to file in
this Court's chambers, on or before July 23, 2002, a supplement

to his Application in that respect.+

Milton I. Shadur
Senior United States District Judge

Date: July 12, 2002

1 This Court is very much aware (as is Jones) of the 90-day
time limitation on his filing suit after his receipt of the EEOC
right-to-sue letter, which Complaint 48(b) says he received April
30, 2002. But if Jones complies with this memorandum order, so
that he either pays the filing fee or is granted in forma
pauperis status, this Court will treat the date of filing of this
action as July 8, 2002 (when it was delivered to the Clerk's
Office), making the action timely in any event.
