Case No. 08-CR-258
08-13-2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JESUS S. NUNEZ, Defendant.
DECISION AND ORDER
The defendant, Jesus Nunez, filed a motion for the return of property under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 41(g). Postjudgment motions under Rule 41(g) are civil actions subject to the Prison Litigation Reform Act. United States v. Stevens, 500 F.3d 625, 628 (7th Cir. 2007). To proceed with such an action, Nunez must file a separate lawsuit and pay the filing fee (or use the partial payment procedures of the PLRA, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)). For now, the Court will DENY the motion [ECF No. 38] without prejudice.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 13th day of August, 2013.
