        "text": "ORDER\nRaucci, CJ.\nThis cause coming on to be heard on the Respondent\u2019s, motion to dismiss, and the Claimant\u2019s response thereto, the Court being fully advised in the premises, the Court finds that Claimant, an inmate of tire Lincoln Correctional Center, has filed a four-count complaint alleging that Claimant was subjected to. \u201cverbal assaults\u201d and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He claims that four employees of the Respondent\u2019s Department of Corrections called him, or allowed him to be called by others, \u201cShitty Smitty from New York City\u201d on a regular basis.\nThe complaint does not state a claim for either assault or intentional infliction of emotional distress. In order to state a claim for assault, Claimant must allege an \u201cunreasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.\u201d (Rosenbaum v. Parkerland Packing Co., Inc. (1977), 55 Ill. App. 3d 959, 963.) Name calling must be \u201ctruly extreme and outrageous\u201d and it is \u201cclear that the tort does not extend to mere insults, indignities, threats, petty impressions, or other trivialities.\u201d (McGrath v. Fahey (1998), 126 Ill. 2d 78; Restatement (Second) of Torts (1965), section 46, comment d at 73.) While the name calling may be insulting, it hardly rises to the level of a basis for a compensable claim.\nIt is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that the Respondents motion to dismiss is granted and this claim is dismissed and forever barred.",
