v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, STATE OF IL, AND COVENANT MEDICAL CENTER of Champaign/ Urbana.

Defendants/appellees

Appeal from the United States district court for the central district of Il, Danville division

No. 94-c-2060, Harold A. Baker, judge

Upon consideration of the request for leave to proceed as a pauper on appeal filed by the appellant on June 23, 1994, the final order of the district court, and the record on appeal, this court has determined that any issues which could be raised are insubstantial and the filing of briefs would not be helpful to the court's consideration of the issues. Mather v. Village of Mundelein, 869 F. 2d 356, 357 (7^th circuit, 1989) (per curiam).

IT IS ORDERED that the motion for leave to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis is DENIED and the judgment of the district court is summarily AFFIRMED.

(1119-110293)

[FROM ME: not only does the court quote itself, the issues raised are about inherent right and contractual demand as it regards the medical profession and its right to "bill as they please"/ the demand is "EARN the money, & respect the citizen". The court replies with Mather v. Village of Mundelein, a favorite of theirs: this case is about christmas ornaments on the village property.
