TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 8/18/2026. Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to File Supplemental Complaint #13 . The proposed complaint alleges that officials at Pontiac Correctional Center have obstructed or delayed the grievance process in violation of his constitutional rights. The allegations are not related to any claims he asserted in his original complaint, nor does Plaintiff's proposed complaint contain any allegations related to his original claims. See #1 #11 . Plaintiff's motion #13 is DENIED. The Court does not accept piecemeal complaints, and Plaintiff may not pursue unrelated claims against different defendants in the same lawsuit. George v. Smith, 507 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir. 2007) ("Unrelated claims against different defendants belong in different suits."); Owens v. Godinez, 860 F.3d 434, 436 (7th Cir. 2017) ("[D]istrict courts should not allow inmates to flout the rules for joining claims and defendants... or to circumvent the Prison Litigation Reform Act's fee requirements by combining multiple lawsuits into a single complaint."). Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint as instructed, and by the deadlines set, in the Court's Merit Review Order. See #11 .(SAG)
