Case No. 1:14-cv-02015-SKO (PC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

SUPPLEMENT COMPLAINT AS MOOT 

IN LIGHT OF SCREENING ORDER

(Doc. 7)

Plaintiff Larry William Cortinas, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on December 18, 2014. On November 9, 

2015, Plaintiff filed a motion seeking leave to supplement his complaint. In light of the order 

issued on November 10, 2015, dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint, with leave to amend, for failure to 

state a claim, Plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY DENIED as moot. Plaintiff may add his 

supplemental claims in his amended complaint, as long as he heeds the admonition that claims and 

parties must be properly joined in the same action. Fed. R. Civ. P. 18(a), 20(a)(2); Owens v. 

Hinsley, 635 F.3d 950, 952 (7th Cir. 2011); George v. Smith, 507 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir. 2007). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
