ORDER
Muhammad has not objected to Magistrate Judge Beth Deere's
recommendation, Document No. 29, that his second motion to amend his
complaint be denied. He has, however, filed a motion to extend his time to
object. Document No. 35. The Court has already ruled that Muhammad can't
add the claims at issue because he cannot have exhausted them before filing
this lawsuit. And the parties recently consented to have Judge Deere handle
this case to judgment.
Under the circumstances the Court denies
Muhammad's motion to extend time. The Court will, however, review Judge
Deere's recommendation de novo in light of his intention to object.
FED. R. CIV.
P. 72(b) (1983 addition to Advisory Committee notes). On de novo review, the
Court adopts Judge Deere's proposal as its own.
Muhammad's third motion to amend, Document No. 33, is also denied.
Muhammad seeks to add a claim for deliberate indifference. The Court
assumes this is related to his allegations that the jail served him spoiled tuna
fish. But twice now the Court has denied him leave to add those claims.
Muhammad's allegations in his original complaint, Document No.2, could not
support a claim for deliberate indifference. The Court declines to allow this
futile amendment. Holloway v. Dobbs, 715 F.2d 390,392-93 (8th Cir. 1983) (per
curiam).
Partial report and recommendations, Document No. 29, adopted in full.
Motions, Document Nos. 20, 33 & 35, denied.
So Ordered.
