Date Filed Document Text
March 19, 2020 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 3/19/2020. This case was opened after the Southern District of Illinois transferred to this District severed claims regarding the lack of hygiene items in Western Illinois Correctional Center. However, the complaint on file concerns primarily the claims that remain in the Southern District. Not enough factual information is given to determine whether Plaintiff states a plausible federal claim against Defendants Watson and Goins based on the denial of hygiene items. By April 18, 2020, Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint including only the claims against Defendants Watson and Goins. The amended complaint will completely replace the original complaint. The Court will then conduct a merit review on the amended complaint. The clerk is directed to reset the merit review deadline to April 30, 2020. (KE, ilcd)
