contacting the a c l u and then carried out their threat by acting with warden blades to twice housing that's an inmate who had previously broken his spine in a vicious attack yet the district court described cause graphic and detailed allegations we will house you why you got smashed out and you will get smashed now again some occasions he was attacked within twenty four hours the prison officials had used that threat to try and silence a car but it did not work he continued to comply he continued to follow this lawsuit and on both occasions he was attacked within original complaint of work baby or to state a claim which we would then review the no or is he up healing the district court's decision to deny him leave compile an amended complaints which we would so it's it's our opinion that the district court did abuses discretion in not allowing call to amend his original complaint because of the facts that he set out and his amended complaint was sufficient to meet the about is whether the complaint with sufficient exactly so the the district court said that card did not correct the deficiencies of the original complaint is opposition but he did correct those deficiencies i want to be conscious of my good morning my name is sarah dali the lower court's incorrect assessment of cars evidence as insufficient is equally applicable to cars retaliation claim as it was to his deliberate indifference claimed the district court incorrectly granted the defendant's motion for s despite seventeen detailed affidavits contesting the defendant's version of the facts of the five elements of which the district court took issue with three of those elements a legitimate pina logical purpose whether the defendants had retaliatory intent and chilling effect as to the penal logical purpose the defendants have asserted one version of the facts that the chair meeting was held that the two meeting was held to deal with issues of drug use gambling and extortion car has asserted a completely different reason nine of the inmates attests to the chair meeting taking place and the sole discussion of the tear meeting being about the a c l u letters hat had arrived inmate smith said for example sergeant psychedelia and corporal stiles are told us if we complained to the u anymore or the courts or filed grievances we would be removed from protective custody and they let us get attacked in dangerous housing additionally the district court said that the defendants lacked that the defendants did not have retaliatory intent do not advance any facts indicating that either psychedelia or stelzer took action on account of cars or others protected conduct that's incorrect there are nine affidavits as i stated previously that directly discuss how the two meeting was about communications with the a c l u additionally there's a circumstantial evidence of timing so in this particular case the a c l u letters arrived on february ninth on february tenth all of the inmates were isolated either in their own cells or in administrative segregation then on february eleventh all of the inmates were brought together and they were told if you continue to communicate with the a c l u or the courts or grievances we will remove your protective custody and you'll be smashed out they directly stated what their intent was and there's additional evidence supporting that timing indicated that they had retaliatory intent finally the district court took issue with whether there was a chilling effect the standard is whether it is an objective standard and it's whether a person  firmness will continue to exercise their first amendment rights in spite of the retaliatory conduct here the district court said it is abundantly clear from the record before the court that car took full advantage of the grievances and has filed other lawsuits in this court the court was applying a subjective test looking at cars an individual which is incorrect this is an object of test this court held in the road the robinson specifically it's an objective test because  rule otherwise would create a vicious catch twenty two only those inmates who ceased to purge pursue their rights would be the ones able to enforce their rights so the fact that car continued to fire litigation despite serious threats to his to his life is not indicative of chilling this court has also stated that threats to transfer an individual without even transferring them would be sufficient to to tell a person of ordinary firmness karr has been subject to serious threats against his life as a result of the defendant's unconstitutional conduct he sought relief from the court but has attained none therefore we ask that you reverse the district court's incorrect dismissal of cars eighth amendment claim it's incorrect granting of the defendant's motion for s there's a little bit of background the need to go need to be understood and it's in the record although maybe not necessarily jumped out in the briefing and that is in july of two thousand and fourteen the state of idaho took back operation of the facility or mr carr was house take rational center from a private prison managed management there had been some controversy and some issues that had come up in that time period under private management and it dealt with gang activity prevention a weapon violence and drug activity so in july twenty four thousand at the end of the contract a state of idaho took a back over and warden place went there to correct issues that need to be corrected that brings up pressure with how that threatened them to stop filing grievances or else the defense would basically strip inmates of their protective  take it is true at this point that nobody that's not disputed in the record i would agree with that so and they say they have quotations about different things that were said so i just you know i understand and appreciate that mr karr presents a lot of issues but to the to the institution but it's just trying to figure out how a genuine issue of material  fact isn't created you know whether these defendants the adverse action of rounding up and threatening plaintiff and other inmates seems like it was connected to the inmates protected conduct  and trying to figure out how that doesn't survive summary judgment give me your best best argument there's two that are directly on point number one he has to the stand that investigations officers and they do not control security or housing so that is one element of what it is is i believe judge in the context of even the affidavits filed by mr karr the speech was about to the general population and if there are continuing instances of gang activity of violence of drugs of possession of  by fair enough judge what we do know is out there had been this activity that had been going on and well documented uncontested in the record and to the unit and talking to the inmates and telling now that if this activity continues meaning the drugs and that and the violence that your housing status is going to change and it's not we're going to throw you back in general population i guess and i know that's that's disputed in the affidavit but this is this needs to her decision on the summary judgment that there was a legitimate penal logical reason for the meeting due to the activity that it occurred that drug activity related activity there is a valid p logical reason don't know and they are directed at this exact issue we need we think they support you know the whole retaliation and all the elements for retaliation so i'm just trying to figure out you know for trial and by rule twenty nine judge i'm sorry i mean at the end of the case and she won a directed verdict or i think that the court could look at that absolutely i think the court did look at in summary judgment based on the affidavit said listen to what the affidavit said corcoran so scorpios stelzer said so you want to complain well i gave you life and i can take it away and men gave me permission to send any of you or i decide to car also me answer that this way well we know is that a few days later there was a change in housing by somebody else not not like a deli not  timing in many cases retaliation can be taken as circumstantial evidence of causation two days after the statement now you're telling me the corporal cells were had no control over over the be in the form of a mandatory injunction has to be housed in order for you know about two hundred fifty miles to the north at a work camp he wants to be he wants to be given a different housing status that is protective custody be removed and he be given additional freedom fit under the regulations he is not entitled to so that was adequately reviewed by the magistrate judge major issues that we brought up in briefing is that it is currently being litigated and another lawsuit and that's car versus link and i know that the timing there's a question in the reply brief those two which piece takes precedent bottom line is that his claims dealing with we're still a trainer all have to do you are all involved in the leak that judge you asked about the standard of review we believe that this after the access to courts claim and be fair to protect claim that those are squarely on a abuse of discretion standard that the magistrate judge in reviewing the complaint the original complaint which did not having the allegations with regard to merge with trainer and was not considered as part of the summary judgment  the amended complaint was not that the original complaint is the operative pleading in this case the judge denied the failure to deny the motion to amend and that so crimes did not include any facts to suggest that he took any documents only suggest that he ordered search which preserve entitled to   the fourth looking at the facts as alleged in the original complaint i did not find any personal involvement with the  stelter or weren't pledged and that's just based on the original facts in the original complaint the amount of complaint which was not accepted by the court at all the additional facts that dealt with  affidavits second in regards to the injunction the prison officials here can't be trusted to ensure that cause how safely everytime they pull his protective custody status he is attacked so this
