Narrative

"Plaintiff Marvin Maurice Moore... claims defendant Carnett sprayed him with OC spray when he asked to speak to a lieutenant or sergeant about his improper meals... [He] alleges harassment, not getting his mail, and not getting the correct meals. He also complains about being refused toothpaste, shower shoes, request forms, grievance forms, and writing [undetermined word], both at River North and at Keen Mountain. He filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against six defendants, including the Warden and Assistant Warden at River North Correctional Center, where he is currently incarcerated.

He complains that he is in the Restorative Housing Unit when he should not be, and that this is revenge on him because he is not at fault...

Other than Correctional Officer Carnett, Moore has not identified what wrongful acts defendants committed against him, and he has not explained what constitutional rights were violated. More importantly, Moore did not pay the applicable filing fee..."
