TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Harold A. Baker on 5/27/10: The plaintiff's motion for leave to file an amended complaint 59 is granted. The clerk of the court is directed to file the amended complaint, forthwith. The court has reviewed the plai ntiff's amended complaint. The plaintiff's complaint does not comply with the court's previous text orders. The plaintiff complains about separate incidents of retaliation by different persons. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a) states in relevan t part that [a]ll persons... may be joined in one action as defendants if there is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative, any right to relief in respect of or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of tra nsactions or occurrences and if any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action. Multiple claims against a single party are fine, but Claim A against Defendant 1 should not be joined with unrelated Claim B against Defen dant 2. The plaintiff has raised unrelated claims against different defendants. Unrelated claims against different defendants belong in different lawsuits. This ensures that prisoners pay the required filing fees--for the Prison Litigation Reform A ct limits to 3 the number of frivolous lawsuits or appeals that any prisoner may file without prepayment of the required fees. 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(g). Mr. Lovejoy might not only be trying to save money, but to avoid that rule. The clerk of the cou rt is directed to strike the plaintiff's complaint. Furthermore, as the plaintiff's previous complaints have been stricken, he had no complaint on file. Therefore, this amended complaint would have been his first complaint. The incidents he complains about took place over two years ago and would be barred by the Illinois two year statute of limitation. See 735 ILCS 5/13-202; see Lucien v. Jockisch, 133 F. 3d 464, 466 (7th Cir. 1998). The plaintiff's remaining motions 60 and 61 are denied. (cc: plaintiff)(MSB, ilcd)
