O R D E R
At Wilmington this c}A day of June, 2006.
On May 8, 2006, plaintiff Leonard K. Baylis, a prisoner
incarcerated at the Delaware Correctional Center, Smyrna,
Delaware, filed a document entitled “supplemental complaint with
included motion for restraining order and an addition of
defendants." (D.I. 34) Plaintiff makes two requests in the
filing. He seeks to amend his complaint to add as defendants
Warden Thomas Carroll and Counselor Italia. He also moves for
injunctive relief advising the court that his life has been
threatened by his cellmate, that the staff is doing nothing to
protect him, and seeks a transfer to mental health so that he
“may be allowed to function without threat." Defendant Stanley
Taylor opposes the motion and plaintiff filed a response to the
opposition. (D.I. 36, 4l)
Plaintiff’s response states that he wishes to add Warden
Thomas Carroll and Counselor Italia as defendants for their “non—
action to serious and legitimate complaints that left unguarded

being and safety." (D.I. 41) He reiterates his request for
injunctive relief and also asks for appointed counsel to “better

equally represented." Id;
