January 13, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 22 TEXT ORDER re #15 and #16 Declarations filed by SHAWN KING. Plaintiff is advised that the Court will not consider Declaration #15 as it improperly covers relief sought in multiple motions. A separate declaration should be filed for each motion Plaintiff is addressing. The Court further notes that Plaintiff has attached exhibits to his second Declaration #16 which do not pertain to the allegations of this lawsuit and, therefore, will not be considered by the Court. The only claims presently before the Court are failure to protect and retaliation claims pertaining to Defendants' rejection of Plaintiff's requests to be placed in protective custody during the time period December 2019 through the present. Any documents relating to lack of medical care, requests to participate in seminars and attend trade school, access to legal materials, and the water quality at SCI Houtzdale are far beyond the allegations of the operative amended complaint #14 .
