ORDER The Court adopts Magistrate Judge Ray’s unopposed recommendation, Doc. 11, as supplemented. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b) (1983 addition to advisory committee notes). The supplement: Pillow notes that while the toilet was broken, he was either taken to booking to use the bathroom or required to urinate in a mop bucket in his cell. Doc. 5 at 5. The Court concludes that the lack of a flushable toilet in the cell for a six-day stretch did not constitute punishment in violation of the Constitution. Knop v. Johnson,
977 F.2d 996, 1013(6th Cir. 1992). Pillow’s complaint and amended complaint will be dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a claim. This dismissal counts as a “strike” for purposes of
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). An in forma pauperis
appeal from this Order and accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). So Ordered. Nr 4a holly: D.P. Marshall Jr. United States District Judge 18 Mecenrleer 20R0_
