Plaintiff's claim for compensatory damages and Plaintiff's claim for punitive damages against Defendants in their official capacities are dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted unless, within 20 days of this Order, Plaintiff files a second amended complaint correcting the deficiencies in his pleading. Plaintiff's claim for declaratory relief is dismissed as moot and Plaintiff's Motion for Order Directing Return of Legal Materials (Dkt. No. 83) is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
