pain on inmates by forcing them to use cold showers in nd he alleges that prison staff were deliberately indifferent to his medical me the cold showers claim is present in most clearly in mr butler nd supplement to his complaint at way one of seven and again restated in his th supplement at our way one hundred and fifty six dollars there mr butler goes into detail on how officers inflicted quote unquote personal corporal punishment on inmates by forcing them into the honor he did not reference the th amendment in his initial complaint but the the form complaint provided to him by the bureau of prisons specifically instructed him not to cite legal authority and to the extent that anyone reading mr brother's complaint could not have reasonably understood him to be alleging if the mini claims we think that he did there's also the separate independent error of the district court in denying his forth for a while right and so how many times do they have to do the back and forth your honor mr butler filed a number of settlements to his initial complaint and the magistrate correctly construed those as part of the initial sort of thing right your honor we think that it's clear that he did make out needs a new claim on the cold showers for example a number of sister circuits have recognized as similar factual allegations relating to cold showers do in fact  to state them in the claims and that he was ready to file an amended complaint that use presented most clearly that are away for nine and his request for leave to him in this complaint he also any you can differ as to mr rios if you need to i know you all the supplemental a brief this point but it is a question before us which is the appointment of counsel issue do you have any argument that he did preserve that since he didn't appeal it the district judge your honor as far as the motion for going to counsel is concerned we're relying for that argument on what mr butler briefed in his initial briefing to this court however we would argue that there were exceptional to the district judge and if you don't now it's all right i just wanted to see if you had anything to add on that because the government has argued that he waived that so i'm just asking about that your honor i don't have the record side in front of me so we would defer to what is stated in the initial briefs on that point a footnote six of our supplemental opening brief and again while he was never apprised of the need to provide these additional details on remand he may well be able to craft a complaint that overcomes whatever undisclosed deficiencies the magistrate judge butler's st amendment retaliation claims it should and as a result the court should reverse the district court's erroneous dismissal of mr butler's defense action because if you need procedural in factual circumstances this case present court with the opportunity to recognize a business remedy in a new context without opening the floodgates to all st amendment defense claims specifically as was alleged at the district court and taken as true for purposes of this appeal butler was subjected to a years long retaliation campaign for exercising his right to file grievances against b o b officers declining to recognize a rimini but the plaintiff here may create a ripple effect where prisoners are discouraged from invoking the grievance processes afforded them and further this may signal to federal jailers that it's open season to retaliate against prisoners who have bio grievances against him no no without bivins the only remedy is itself to file war grievances perpetuating a vicious cycle of retaliation and why did this extending why isn't this something congress should address rather than us where we are simply judges who apply the law why should we be to create a stand alone to images remedy as proof that no remedy exists at all here and there are two reasons for that st congress did not have a need to create such a remedy given that the supreme court has recognized some twenty five years after the supreme court recognized the bivins remedy and sixteen years after carlson it was decided so congress failure to create a standalone rimini here is hardly remarkable knowing again that this is this because of right left and that seems completely inconsistent with separation of powers and that limited jurisdiction of federal courts in general so there certainly your honor recognizing that that's a concern that's been discuss rogue executive officers which i believe justice kennedy referred to in the abbassi opinion as the core purpose of that ivins doctrine and beyond to be already there are two quick special factors i'd like to get to that the district court know based on recent jurisprudence the analysis is always two steps and finally just to address the cost issue and the early disposition of the uncertainty qualified immunity creates a powerful protection for b o p s officials undertaking a good faith effort to police prisons this allows courts to dismiss actions on the pleadings and at the summary judgment stage the last actual factor that the district  moment decisions that both the defendants and the district court were concerned about mr butler was subjected to eight years long retaliation campaign for the exercise of his constitutional rights and that they've been through many itself against justice kennedy stated that the existence of an alternative remedial structure may counsel against the creation of a new cause of action but here it is very likely that there were not alternative remedies available to mr butler  specifically looked at the b o p s administrative relief program or the a a r p but it's absolutely essential to note that mr butler did attempt to participate in the a a r p and pages forty four dollars to forty seven dollars of the record and it was this action itself that caused the retaliation that mr butler is alleging federal officers cannot obstruct to prisoners access to a grievance process or procedure and in vote the availability of that process touchstone of the ins and allison this is statutory intent that is congressional intent there has to be some clue that congress intended for the a a r p to serve as the remaining for the violations of mr butler's rights in order for its existence to foreclose the availability of it begins for him and he had all and no such clue exists here the last quick alternative remedy point i'd like to make is that the district court and the government rely on  injunctive relief as an alternative remedy but injunctive relief was not available to mr butler here either as the record indicates on page forty two dollars mr butler did request injunctive relief after about eight months in the shoe however by the therefore we respectfully ask that the district court be reversed thank you thank you m from the united states department of justice i represent the eleven your prisons correctional investigative and unit management staff defendants here the district court correctly declined to create a ivins cause of action in the for amendment retaliation claim in the prison housing context the for the supreme court has never record recognized a ivins remedy in any st amendment context and every court of appeals to address the issue of whether or not to create a remedy in the prison for case the circuit said it is inconsistent with the supreme court's later opinions to the effect that legislative inaction is not an inversion when congress repeatedly annexed legislation to reform into ministry to process but at no point chose to extend the kind of remedy sought congress has never created the remedy the plaintiff seeks here congress in fact has acted repeatedly to give deference to the executive branch in housing inmates in deciding how inmates should seek and that the administrative process could have been an alternative remedy for him because he was not successful in those processes and because he was being retaliated against for engaging in those processes i mean the simple fact of the matter is plaintiff repeatedly process was not available to him moreover it's not even about whether a process is available or will be successful for a given plaintiffs in a given case as the supreme court said in molests the must go decision so long as the plan to penn avenue for some redress an avenue the bedrock principles of separation of powers foreclose judicial imposition of a new substantive liability contrary to plaintiff's arguments about the administrative remedy process and ministry processes acknowledged by this circuit other circuits the th circuit they've got this circuit of your argument though that that's what caused them to come after him his complaints is what caused the retaliation so then not only are they plaintiffs like here are saying that the process wasn't available to him congress thought through that and said ok where it's not available to an individual plaintive then they can go d immediately to district court and see conjunctive really congress set up a set up i mean you could really view it as one process here the st step is to proceed in formal remedy official remedy appeal within the process if that whole part of the process isn't available to him then he can immediately seek relief in federal court here plaintiffs are relief in the wrong federal court which is why the court said below here said they didn't have jurisdiction to release him from the shoe in california but that doesn't mean that a process wasn't available to him and indeed  can be a faster and more to read route to relieve us obviating the need for the court to stick its neck out and create a business cause of action like he said judge gainst making the law not just in forcing laws that congress had created indeed it would be going beyond what congress anticipated in p r a in setting up that two stage process and even before it's not just the p l o or a of course other congressional action exist such as crip up before then which was modified by the p l o re the st step act recently dealing with prison housing stripping the courts of authority to review certain prison housing decisions and generally the med that decades of legislation before then giving the attorney general your prisons the discretion to house inmates where they see fit and that makes sense congress makes it made sense for congress how to leave that to the executive branch to house prisoners where they see fit because executive or legislative it sure ain't judicial branch that's absolutely correct and the in terms of the separation of powers which the legislative action implicate here it is both that congress said executive branch designed this process and will have that process be the initial stage for seeking relief for any conditions within a federal prison but also there's less of a need for on the other hand there's less of a need for courts to act as well so it's it's really immunity as essentially giving license to this court to expand ivins the supreme court has always separated out the qualified immunity and creation of a cause of action remedies in merits versus whether a cause of action exists light of the qualified immunity defense that federal employees have these types of retaliation claims you like i say even with qualified immunity are not amenable to early decision i think the supreme court in crawford l in the that can be easily pled and won't be resolved until trial burdening the judiciary who well that's the screen these claims and handle them later on but also the government who defends majority of these claims and the individual defendants themselves course f subject personal tensional potentially personal liability in these cases so those i don't think qualified immunity cuts in favor of the of the plaintiffs here or can be seen as a given license to create a  in any case and essentially that when they state claim that this would be a justification for always declining to expect to expand bits evince is a disfavored remedy and there are many justifications for why it would not be expanded but more more fundamentally these types of retaliation claims are not just any case unlike the cases like carlson davis ivins where the supreme court has affirmatively or recognized events claimed in the past retaliation claims as i mentioned earlier have been recognized as the court causing uniquely higher costs they involve more difficult issues of causation which is exactly the kind of concern the court had in bush even lucas and said could be a cause to hesitate before expanding to ivins remedy they isolate it particularly tricky issues of causation also unlike in carlson where deliberate indifference would need to be planted in order to in order to raise an  time there just in numerable actions that the pure person could take that if the person had if the prisoner had previously filed a grievance would now be constitutionalized potentially as a potential retaliation claims so that not only makes these easier to plead but also just opens up the universe of when these cases could be pled as we noted in our brief there are many many prisons many prisons many federal prison or in the united states it's just a wide wide universe of potential we would you would disagree with that characterization not even the facts were there in the original complaint for example on record or to peel a thirty eight he said there are other negative shoe conditions that although typical of all prisoners shoes are notable including that the showers often run cold this doesn't speak to the kind of individual eyes misconduct that would raise that would raise or even speak to it if memory harm that the court has said is a necessary predicate for booms action this doesn't speak to wanton infliction of harm this doesn't and this certainly doesn't speak to deliberate indifference or any sort of intentionality like that linked with the fact that no individual is named as as  same document that was filed twice so there is really only one document this was not a supplement to the complaint as plaintive characterize it this was a letter to the court asking for injunctive relief and retaliation this is this is  the other big problem with now what plaintiffs trying to transform their age their th and st amendment claims into it many claims essentially excise out from those discussions of here's how my due process was being violated here's how it's been retaliated against and take those take little snippets out of that and say that that is that forms an eight amendment claim i think it would be an impossible standard for district courts to follow the magistrate judge did  thorough decision here analyzing all of these facts plaintiff raised in the light of just how plaintiff alleged which was as consequences negative consequences of being housed in the special house and you know i mean given th how where is that live that's drawn between becoming the lawyer as the magistrate judge becoming the lawyer for the pro se litigant which you shouldn't be and liberally construing which is shit so if a lawyer or right exactly so for for example when you think of says again in his for his eyeglasses claim that he was never provided i care when he was in the special housing unit and this act exacerbated the here being held that there he doesn't say that some individual person violated his rights by to caught by declining to do that now this probably doesn't even rate rise to the level of a serious medical harm but even but even if it did if he doesn't allege the kind of intentionality so none of none of the kind of elements are there that would even speak to many client and reportedly clear in this i'm not just saying that he failed to state if amendment claim or that the law wasn't clearly established for so for example you know plaintiff tries to rely on documents like our way for a nine or other other later filed documents these are old documents outside the complaint as the court reco the district court cut him a lot of leniency because district court acknowledged six or seven hundred and sixty six supplemental documents after his initial complaint i believe all is part of his complaint in a very generous reading o what about the argument that allowing the supplemental is does not sort of give the magistrate judge credit for having allowed amending right so that the district court or the magistrate judge did allow him to amend it just as to the st minute retaliation claim but there would have been no need to allow him to amend to repleat or fix it man in claims because they were simply not there and the district that does this magistrate judge at that time had been on the bench for nearly a decade she sits in a district case that i can think up but it is a general proposition that you cannot amended complaint by in a brief i think that's a pretty well known point of law and it was after and even by the way even if it pen pen too late in the sense that the case that already been limited by the screening or the idea that he could bring in these claims wholly unconnected with the ongoing retaliation that he was alleging and against different you will note that i do not represent any prison medical staff here these these defendants are not even alleged to have done anything in those claims would have really spent a stretch of joinder issues in addition to able to relate and may have had even other problems if you had attempted to add new claims against the defendants i do years into th turning back briefly to the st amendment claim your honor which as plaintiffs acknowledge in their oral argument form is the core issue in this in this complaint in this case the when the p l r a was passed congress knew carlson houses had not ratified st amendment retaliation claims to that extent but it and but it's not just that we're asking the court to take notice of here when we're asking the court to say th congressional action counsels hesitation it's all it's all of the other activity that the part of the congress had taken in terms of stripping the courts of the ability to review housing decisions and give plaintiffs prisoner plaintiffs the opportunity to challenge their prison housing conditions did that motion was was denied at e c f fourteen mr butler objected that the c f eighteen karo a one of four then that objection was directed to the clerk of court rather than to the district  clear and that's that mr brother was ready to phone him in to complaint he thought he had stated these claims yet the district court improperly denied that motion on  actions as evidenced by the fact that the supreme court in davis st passed and recognize it didn't seem to be for a sex discrimination claim which ostensibly also requires some subjective inten
