Plaintiff Thomas Alan Skalicky ("Skalicky") is an inmate at the Missouri River Correctional
Center ("MRCC"). He initiated the above entitled action by complaint on May 30, 2012. On June
5, 2012, he filed a document captioned “Motion to Be Allowed to Submit Exhibits with Attached
Arguments,” requesting, inter alia, leave to supplement his original complaint and an order from the
court directing defendants to transport him the North Dakota State Penitentiary’s law library.
The court construes as Skalicky’s request to supplement his complaint as a motion to amend
The court construes as Skalicky’s request to supplement his complaint as a motion to amend the
pleadings. Given the posture of the case, the court will grant Skalicky leave to amend his complaint.
However, the court is not inclined to order defendants to transport of Skalicky to the NDSP.
Accordingly, Skalicky’s motion (Docket No. 9) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED
IN PART. Skalicky shall have until July 9, 2012, to file an amended complaint. Skalicky is advised
that he will not be permitted to plead his case piecemeal. He should set forth all of his claims,
describe the factual bases for his claims, and attach all of his exhibits to any amended complaint he
files with the court.

Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 mandates the court to conduct an initial screening of
prisoner complaints. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. The court shall hold the screening of Skalicky’s
pleadings in abeyance pending receipt of his amended complaint. Should he not file an amended
complaint with the court by July 9, 2012, the court shall proceed with the screening of Skalicky’s
original complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 11th day of June, 2012.
