INITIAL REVIEW ORDER and ORDER denying 16 Motion for Preliminary Injunction and Motion for TRO; finding as moot 17 Motion to Amend/Correct. Based on the attached ruling, the Court issues the following orders:The Court DISMISSES all claims. Plaintiff may file an amended complaint to attempt to rectify the deficiencies identified by the Court with respect to his First Amendment retaliation claim against Defendant Caruso only by July 22, 2026. If he chooses to file an amended complaint, Plaintiff is encouraged to recite his factual allegations as clearly as possible. An amended complaint, if filed, will completely replace the complaint, and the Court will not consider any allegations made in the original complaint in evaluating any Amended Complaint. The Court will review any amended complaint after filing to determine whether it may proceed to service of process on any defendants named therein. If Plaintiff fails to file an amended complaint by July 22, 2026, the case will be closed.As to his Fourteenth and Eighth Amendment claims, the complaint is dismissed at the present time, but Plaintiff may refile another suit should he actually be held beyond the date he believes is his correct maximum release date. Plaintiff is not permitted to raise his Fourteenth and Eighth Amendment claims in any amended complaint in this action, however, because doing so would be futile. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order, ECF No. 16, is DENIED. Likewise, Plaintiff's motion for leave to amend, ECF No. 17, is DENIED as moot. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to change the spelling of Defendant Leighann Caurso to Leigh-Anne Caruso on the docket. Changes of Address. If Plaintiff changes his address at any time during the litigation of this case, Local Rule 83.1(c)2 provides that he MUST notify the Court. Failure to do so can result in the dismissal of the case. Plaintiff must give notice of a new address even if he is incarcerated. Plaintiff should write PLEASE NOTE MY NEW ADDRESS on the notice. It is not enough to just put the new address on a letter without indicating that it is a new address. If Plaintiff has more than one pending case, he should indicate all the case numbers in the notification of change of address. Signed by Judge Sarala V. Nagala on 6/22/26. (JH)
