1

In his second amended complaint (ECF No. 51), Plaintiff alleges that he is “being denied
due process” based on a document posted on the detention center bulletin board, which warns
prisoners that they will be punished for filing frivolous lawsuits. Plaintiff does not allege that he
has been punished as a result of filing this lawsuit, and it is evident that the alleged posting has
not prevented Plaintiff from pursuing the claims joined in this lawsuit. Accordingly, the Court
agrees that Plaintiff’s allegations are insufficient to state a cognizable claim for relief.
