United States Seventh Circuit

In a pro se action under 42 U.S.C. section 1983 against certain officers and employees of the Illinois correctional department alleging that they had violated plaintiff's constitutional rights by failing to protect him from other inmates, failing to provide him with medical care and retaliating against him for speaking out against the department, dismissal and other rulings against plaintiff are affirmed in part, but reversed in part where the district court erred in dismissing one count of plaintiff's complaint and abused its discretion by not recruiting counsel for plaintiff during discovery.
