After Judge Deere issued her recommendation, Curtis filed two documents alleging
claims for retaliation and racial discrimination. See Documents #6 and #7. Those claims are
separate from the claim asserted in Curtis’s initial complaint and will not be considered in this
action. If Curtis intends to pursue those claims, he must commence new lawsuits for them.
