ORDER

THOMAS RAY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, Cory Deontra Bradley, has filed this pro se action alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights and the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"). There are two nondispositive Motions pending, which the Court will address separately.

I. Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery

On May 2, 2012, Plaintiff filed a "Motion for Discovery" asking the Court to compel Defendants to produce photographs, video recordings, and other evidence regarding the merits of his claims. See docket entry #51. On April 20, 2012, the Court denied Plaintiff's previously filed Motion to Compel that sought the same type of evidence. Id. Additionally, the Court stayed discovery on "any matters, other than the exhaustion of administrative remedies ... until the Court rules on Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (docket entry #40)." Id. at 9. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery is denied.

II. Plaintiff's Fourth Motion to Amend the Complaint

On May 3, 2012, Plaintiff sent the Court a letter, which was filed as his Fourth Motion to Amend the Complaint. See docket entry #52. In that pleading, Plaintiff states that he is currently being denied access to the law library, retaliated against, and inadequately protected from potential harm by other inmates. Id. As previously explained to Plaintiff in the April 20, 2012 Order, he cannot add any claims that arose after he commenced this action, on August 29, 2011. See docket entry #48. Additionally, the proposed new claims are legally and factually distinct from the claims already pending in this lawsuit. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Fourth Motion to Amend the Complaint is denied.

III. Conclusion

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery (docket entry #51) is DENIED.

2. Plaintiff's Fourth Motion to Amend the Complaint (docket entry #52) is DENIED.
