ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

RECONSIDERATION

Plaintiff has filed a motion for reconsideration of the

amend not only for failures to comply with Rule 8, but due to

substantive deficiencies that note improper venue and

insufficient Eighth Amendment claim for effective medical care;

improper assertion of Americans With Disabilities Act claims

against individuals; an improper substantive due process claim

sought to be joined with Eighth Amendment claim; an improper

claim about the inmate appeals process and prison grievance

systems; insufficient allegation of failure to train relative to

supervisor liability; an absence of facts showing a denial of

access to the courts claim; improper alleged joinder of other

prisoners, who Plaintiff, a non-lawyer, cannot represent in any

capacity; an insufficient retaliation claim; insufficient First

Amendment exercise of religion claim; a meritless claim under the

Religious Freedom Restoration Act previously held

unconstitutional; an insufficient conspiracy claim under Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 9; all of which have been specifically

pointed out to Plaintiff. There is no change in the law, clear

error, or other reason to reconsider the order dismissing the

complaint without prejudice. 

Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration is DENIED. A failure

to file an amended complaint within ten (10) days following the

date of service of this order will result in dismissal of the

action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
