TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Sue E. Myerscough on 7/23/2020. Plaintiff is barred from proceeding in forma pauperis unless he is in imminent danger of serious physical harm. He is proceeding in this case under the imminent danger exception on allegations arising from alleged dirty water in his cell with feces backing up in the sink and emanating an intolerable odor. Defendant has been served, and Defendant's Answer is due August 10, 2020. Plaintiff has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order alleging that a certain correctional officer has been making sexual remarks to Plaintiff. The motion for a temporary restraining order is denied #19 because this case is limited to the conditions in Plaintiff's cell when Plaintiff filed his complaint. Plaintiff's motion regarding alleged mail tampering #17 and motion regarding no ice or electricity #18 are denied for the same reason. This case is limited to the conditions in Plaintiff's cell when he filed his complaint. (KE, ilcd)
