as

supplemented. If Navarro-Cruz had sued only Sheriff Ryals, then he
could pursue all his claims about circumstances at the jail in one case.
FED.

R. Crv. P. 18(a). But Navarro-Cruz has also sued Dr. Stewart on his

claim about denied mental health treatment. That medical-care claim
doesn't arise out of the same facts as his claims about overcrowding
and insufficient food.

FED.

R. Crv. P. 20(a)(2)(A).

Navarro-Cruz's

conditions-of-confinement claims are therefore dismissed without
prejudice. His claim about mental health treatment goes forward.

So Ordered.
