December 20, 2022 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER granting #8 Petition to Proceed In Forma Pauperis entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 12/20/2022. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b)(1), Plaintiff is assessed an initial partial filing fee of $14.17. The agency having custody of Plaintiff is directed to forward the initial partial filing fee from Plaintiff`s account to the Clerk of Court within 30 days of this order.

December 15, 2022 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 12/15/2022. Plaintiff's motion to request counsel #9 is DENIED. The Court generally will not consider recruiting counsel for a pro se plaintiff until the Court determines that he possess a claim upon which relief can be granted after the Court conducts a review of the complaint. Plaintiff may renew his motion if his claim survives that review that the Court will conduct in the near future. (KE)
December 15, 2022 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 12/15/2022. Plaintiff's motion to add documents #7 is DENIED. Plaintiff's motion is, essentially, a motion for leave to file an amended complaint by interlineation and to add exhibits to his complaint. However, the Court does not accept piecemeal amendments to pleadings. If Plaintiff desires to amend his Complaint to add a Defendant, to add a claim, to add documents, or to substitute a Defendant for a John Doe Defendant, he should file a motion seeking leave to do so in which he identifies the changes that he desires to make in his Complaint. In addition, Plaintiff should attach a complete, proposed amended complaint that, if granted leave to file, will completely replace his original Complaint and will stand on its own without reference to or reliance upon his Original Complaint. Flannery v. Recording Indus. Ass'n of Am., 354 F.3d 632, 638 n.1 (7th Cir. 2004). The proposed Amended Complaint should explain what any and all Defendants did or did not do, including the proposed new Defendant(s), and why their actions or inactions violated Plaintiff's Constitutional rights. Until he follows this process, Plaintiff's motion is denied. Plaintiff has twenty-one (21) days from the date of this Order to file a proposed amended complaint, if that is his desire to do so. Otherwise, the Court will conduct a merit review of Plaintiff's Original Complaint when the Court's schedule permits. (KE)
