Date Filed Document Text
June 15, 2022 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 6/15/2022. Plaintiff files #13 , a Motion for Reconsideration of the Merit Review Order, asking the Court to reconsider the dismissal of Defendants Jackson and Conwell. Plaintiff states that Defendants should not have been dismissed because Jackson, as the acting chief administrative officer, and Conwell, as the acting sergeant, failed to take any action when Plaintiff was attacked by his cellmate. The Court dismissed Jackson and Conwell because Plaintiff failed to allege personal involvement or participation by these Defendants in his complaint. (See Doc. #10 at 4). Individual liability under 1983 can only be based upon a finding that the defendant caused the deprivation alleged. Palmer v. Marion County, 327 F.3d 588, 594 (7th Cir. 2003). Plaintiff's Motion #13 is DENIED. However, Plaintiff will be given leave to file an amended complaint within 30 days. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint, it will replace his original complaint in its entirety. The amended complaint must contain all allegations against all Defendants. Piecemeal amendments are not accepted. (SAG)
