JUDGMENT
On April 3, 2009, the Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation' wherein it was
recommended that Defendants' motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment be granted and that Plaintiff's claims pursuant to the Americans With Disability Act,2 be dismissed with prejudice and that the instant action be dismissed without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction because the Petitioner failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing suit. Plaintiff was given ten (10) days to object, but failed to do so. On April 24, 2009, the undersigned adopted the recommendation dismissing the ADA claims with prejudice and dismissing the suit without prejudice for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.3 On August 20, 2009, Petitioner filed a motion to re-open4 the case maintaining that he had not received the Report and Recommendation, rather it had been sent to his court appointed attorney.

Civil Rights Complaint Pursuant To 28 U.S.C.
§
1331
(Bi'v~ens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics)
Comes now Plaintiff, Michael D. Marlin, proceeding pro Se, respectfully files this Civil Rights Complaint; Demanding a Jury Trial against the above named Defendants for violations of Plaintiff's guaranteed Constitutional Rights under color of federal law. Def endants "knew" they were violating Constitutional Rights before this claim.
Jurisdiction 1) This court's jurisdiction is invoked under
§
28 U.S.C.~ 1331
and 1343, and Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents of Federal Bureau of Nar-
cotics, 403 U.S. 388, 91 S.Ct. 1999, 29 L.Ed.2d 619 (1971). 2) Venue is proper in this court under 28 USC~ 1391(h)(2) 1.
Parties 3) Michael P. Marlin is the sole Plaintiff and a prisoner at Beaumont Federal Correctional Complex-Low, located at 5560 Knauth Rd.,, Beaumont, TX 77705. Mailing address is P.O.Box 26020, Beaumont, TX 77720--6020. 4) Defendants are employees Of the Bureau of Prisons, Oakdale Federal Cortrectional Institution, 1507 B. Whatley Rd., Oaldale, LA 71463. All Defendants are being sued in both their official and personal capacities for damages.
Exhaustion
5) Plaintiff has exhausted all administrative remedies pursuant
to Title 42~ 1997 (e) a. and all requirements under the P.L.R.A. General Allegations
6) On November 17, 2005, C.O. Voicene proceeded to place Plaintiff in a non-handicap accessible cell itiSegregated Housing Unit (S.H.U.) after being told he was violating Plaintiff's Constitution-
al Rights. These cells have no emergency call button(s) to summon help in case of an emergency. In the two weeks being housed in Silt.), Plaintiff ·was denied the basic necessities and facilities to accomplish basic hygiene, i.e. handicap toilet with grab bars, a handicap accessible shower. In fact, Plaintiff was locked in a shower stall for an hour with very hot water without no way to reach faucet handles and Plaintiff cried out in vain for an officer to provide release
from this locked shower stall with no handicap seat. 7) In the two weeks under this torture, the temperatures were
extremely cold aggravating Plaintiff's inner ear trouble. Plaintiff has thrown newspapers off a bicycle in the pouring, freezing rain and built houses for over twenty-five years in the freezing temperatures, but never was the severe cold that was experienced at night. While in SHU, Defendant Lusk's staff administered antibiotics and
when released, Plaintiff went to Health Services with extreme ear 2.
infections in both ears. I told Ms. Lusk at least three times while in SHtJ that I was hurting and I was extremely cold. To this date, I have had trouble with my ears that is very different to my inner ear trouble. By the hearing tests administered at Oakdale F.C.I. and the current Beaumont F.C.C. shows a loss of hearing that is irreparable. Being H.S.A., Ms.. Lusk refused to help me. 8) Plaintiff told every Defendant, except C.O. Voicene, at least twice of my needs being in a wheelchair, and each refused to provide
relief. 9) Plaintiff told the Defendants that the law library in S.H.U. was inadequate and requested law books to answer ongoing cases and the cOrrectional officers refused to supply law books. 10) Plaintiff was enrolled in classes in Education and I was refused. Fourteen days I requested books and was denied.
11) Plaintiff was denied religious services. 12) Defendant Warden Young came by twice iii the fourteen days and I requested release or at least give me a blanket to cover up and he just smiled, did nothing. 13) Assoc. Warden Ms. Mc Meal was the only one who would listen to my pleas, but she said her hands were tied and it was up to the War~den (J.Young, Defendant). 14) In early 2005, a wheelchair prisoner got into trouble and Ad-
ministration locked him in his own cell, the cell Plaintiff was housed in the Rapides Unit, with a toilet and sink and they brought his meals to his cell in Rapides. 15) After two weeks in SHU, Plaintiff was released because the
Lieutenant stated "the snitchnote" was absent--mindedly thrown away
saying I would be stabbed if left out in the compound". After release, Plaintiff was not accosted nor approached by any inmate agressively.
16) ~)efendant Warden Young wanted to retaliate against Plaintiff because his wife was the Staff Attorney at Forrest City F.C.I., the
IflStitUtiOn
where Plaintiff came from, and was mad because I disputed
her "undisputable facts" pertaining to a Case I was involved with.
