Turnquist alleges Defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious mental health needs when they discontinued one of his prescribed mental health medications. (Doc. 2.) On June 12,2014, United States Magistrate Judge Strong found that Turnquist failed to state a federal claim for relief and gave Turnquist until June 30,2014 to file an amended petition. (Doc. 7.)
