Finally, I deny plaintiffs Request for Entry of Default because all defendants have responded to plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint.
JURISDICTION
This court has original jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action brought *650pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 based upon federal question jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331.

Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) because the events giving rise to these claims occurred in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, which is located in this judicial district. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 118,1391(b).
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On October 17, 2012 plaintiff pro se filed a Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis8. By Order dated and filed October 22, 2012 I granted plaintiffs motion and directed the Clerk of Court to file plaintiffs initial Complaint9. The Complaint was filed on October 22, 201210.
On November 9, 2012 plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint11. By Order dated December 20, 2012 and filed December 21, 2012 I granted plaintiffs motion as unopposed and ordered the Clerk of Court to file plaintiffs Amended Complaint12. The Amended Complaint was filed on December 21, 201313. On January 4, 2013 the Commonwealth defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs Amended Complaint14

STANDARD OF REVIEW
Motion to Supplement Complaint
The District Court may permit a party to file a supplemental pleading “setting out any transaction, occurrence, or event that happened after the date of the *652pleading to be supplemented.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(d); see also Crosby v. Piazza, 465 Fed.Appx. 168, 174 (3d Cir.2012). A supplemental complaint “refers to events that occurred after the original pleading was filed.” Owens-Illinois, Inc. v. Lake Shore Land Co., 610 F.2d 1185, 1188-1189 (3d Cir.1979).
An application for leave to file a supplemental pleading “is addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court and should be freely granted when doing so will promote the justiciable disposition of the case, will not cause undue prejudice or delay or trial inconvenience and will not prejudice the rights of any parties to the action.” Bates v. Western Electric, 420 F.Supp. 521, 525 (E.D.Pa.1976) (Broderick, J.).
Motion to Dismiss
A claim may be dismissed under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) for “failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.” A Rule 12(b)(6) motion requires the court to examine the sufficiency of the complaint. Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45, 78 S.Ct. 99, 102, 2 L.Ed.2d 80, 84 (1957) (abrogated in other respects by Bell Atlantic Corporation v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007)). Generally, in ruling on a motion to dismiss, the court relies on the complaint, exhibits attached to the complaint, and matters of public record, including other judicial proceedings. Sands v. McCormick, 502 F.3d 263, 268 (3d Cir.2007).
Except as provided in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 9, a complaint is sufficient if it complies with Rule 8(a)(2), which requires “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief’. Rule 8(a)(2) does not require heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face. Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570, 127 S.Ct. at 1974, 167 L.Ed.2d at 949.23
In determining whether a complaint is sufficient, the court must accept all factual allegations as true, construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and determine whether, under any reasonable reading, the plaintiff may be entitled to relief. Fowler, 578 F.3d at 210 (citing Phillips v. County of Allegheny, 515 F.3d 224, 233 (3d Cir.2008)).
Although “conclusory” or “bare-bones allegations” will not survive a motion to dismiss, Fowler, 578 F.3d at 210, a complaint may not be dismissed merely because it appears unlikely that the plaintiff can prove those facts or will ultimately prevail on the merits. Phillips, 515 F.3d at 231. Nonetheless, to survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, the complaint must provide “enough facts to raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of the necessary element.” Id. at 234 (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556, 127 S.Ct. at 1965, 167 L.Ed.2d at 940) (internal quotations omitted).
The court is required to conduct a two-part analysis when considering a Rule 12(b)(6) motion. First, the factual matters averred in the complaint, and any attached exhibits, should be separated from legal *653conclusions asserted. Fowler, 578 F.3d at 210. Any facts pled must be taken as true, and any legal conclusions asserted may be disregarded. Id. at 210-211.
Second, the court must determine whether those factual matters averred are sufficient to show that the plaintiff has a “plausible claim for relief.” Id. at 211 (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 679, 129 S.Ct. at 1950, 173 L.Ed.2d at 884).
Ultimately, this two-part analysis is “context-specific” and requires the court to draw on “its judicial experience and common sense” to determine if the facts pled in the complaint have “nudged [plaintiffs] claims” over the line from “[merely] conceivable [or possible] to plausible.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 679-680, 129 S.Ct. at 1949-1951, 173 L.Ed.2d at 884-885.
A well-pled complaint may not be dismissed simply because “it strikes a savvy judge that actual proof of those facts is improbable, and that a recovery is very remote and unlikely.” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556, 127 S.Ct. at 1965, 167 L.Ed.2d at 940-941 (internal quotations omitted).
Motion for Default
“When a party against whom a judgment or affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend, and that failure is shown by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk must enter the party’s default.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a).
FACTS
Based upon the averments in plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint and Supplemental Complaint, which I must accept as true under the applicable standard of review discussed above, the pertinent facts are as follows.
Second Amended Complaint
On May 26, 2011 plaintiff was transported from State Correctional Institution-(“SCI”) Albion to SCI-Graterford to appear at a pre-trial hearing for a capital offense case in Philadelphia County24. While at SCI-Graterford plaintiff was in administrative segregation and was housed on the death row unit, J-Unit25.
On June 24, 2011, Correctional Officer Aguiar and Sargent Lewis instructed plaintiff to be handcuffed and escorted plaintiff to I-Unit without notifying plaintiff that his bed assignment was being changed26. Upon arriving at I-Unit, plaintiff was strip searched and placed in a cell27.
Plaintiff was notified by an inmate housed on J-Unit that Officer Aguiar ate plaintiffs commissary items and Sargent Lewis threw plaintiffs documents into a trash can while stating “murderers and rapists need to stay in jail, so he won’t be needing this sh*t”28. While this was occurring, Lieutenant Verosky approached and asked Officer Aguiar and Sargent Lewis what they were doing to which Officers Aguiar and Lewis responded, “taking out the trash”29.
After such transfers plaintiff did not receive his personal property which consisted of: transcripts from a previous 30-day trial; discovery in his pending capital case; $52.00 worth of commissary items; and signed notarized affidavits provided by witnesses in his pending capital case30.
*654Plaintiffs direct appeal in the pending capital case was denied on December 14, 201131. On August 14, 2012 plaintiff filed a Petition for Post Conviction Collateral Relief in an attempt to notify the court of his inability to actively participate in his appellate process because of the destruction of his trial transcripts32.
Plaintiff filed an initial grievance concerning his missing property on June 25, 2011 33. On July 15, 2011 Plaintiff received a response from Lieutenant Verosky denying his initial grievance34.
Plaintiff appealed the denial of the grievance to Superintendent Mike Wener-owicz on July 15, 2011 35. On September 12, 2011 plaintiff received a response to the grievance appeal denying the grievance at the appellate level, which response was signed by Superintendent Wenerow-icz36.
On September 18, 2011, plaintiff appealed the denial of his grievance appeal to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Chief Grievance Officer, Dorinda Varner, which appeal was dismissed because it was untimely37.
Plaintiff was transferred from SCI-Gra-terford to SCI-Albion on June 30, 2011 without his missing property. On July 7, 2011 plaintiff notified the Program Review Committee at SCI-Albion that none of his property or legal work had arrived from SCI-Graterford. On July 13, 2011 plaintiff received a legal box which contained items of clothing which he had removed prior to his transport from SCI-Grater-ford 38.
Plaintiff submitted a letter to Secretary of Corrections Wetzel describing what had occurred39. Jeffrey Witherite, Staff Assistant, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections responded to plaintiffs letter on June 18, 2012 informing plaintiff that pursuant to his review, plaintiffs grievances had been responded to in an appropriate manner 40.
Supplemental Complaint
On January 15, 2013 plaintiff was temporarily transferred from SCI-Albion to SCI-Graterford41. During the transfer, plaintiffs property was stolen42. When plaintiff inquired as to his property, he was told “we (officers) can do anything we want to you until you drop that lawsuit because you pissed-off the higher-ups”43.
On January 22, 2013, plaintiff received a letter from his attorney which had been forwarded to SCI-Graterford from SCI-Albion and which had been opened outside of his presence by Inspector John/Jane Doe44.
Plaintiff he was reviewed by SCI-Gra-terford’s Program Review Committee on January 23, 201345. During such review, plaintiff requested approval for personal *655and legal phone calls46. Plaintiffs request was denied by deputy Dohman, who told plaintiff “stop filing lawsuits and you’ll get your phone calls47.”
On January 24, 2013 plaintiff was transferred to the death row wing of SCI-Graterford48. When plaintiff asked Correctional Officer Rivera why he was being transferred to death row he was told “you better take the plea deal or you’ll be over there permanently 49.”
On January 24, 2013 plaintiff received another opened letter from his attorney, which had been opened outside of plaintiff’s presence by Inspector John/Jane Doe50.
On February 5, 2013 plaintiff was transferred from SCI-Graterford to SCI-A1-bion.51 On March 12, 2013 plaintiff was transferred from SCI-Albion back to SCI-Graterford for a postconviction in hearing in Bucks County, Pennsylvania52. Upon arrival at SCI-Graterford, plaintiff was again placed in administrative custody and housed on death row.
On March 14, 2013 plaintiff attended a post-conviction hearing during which he was unable to effectively litigate and present evidence because of the absence of his trial transcripts53.
On March 21, 2013 plaintiff was strip-searched prior to leaving his cell to go to the law library.54 During the strip-search, Officer Hall made several derogatory remarks to plaintiff and instructed plaintiff to squeeze his penis and perform other provocative acts55. Plaintiff requested to use the sex abuse hotline, to which Officer Hall told plaintiff “file another lawsuit”56.
On March 25, 2013 Officer Fina informed plaintiff that plaintiff would be transferred back to SCI-Albion the next day and thus he needed to give up his property57. Plaintiff requested that his property be inventoried, to which Officer Fina responded “I could throw all this sh*t away just like we did before and nothing’s going to happen just like nothing happened before” and “go ahead and file another lawsuit”58. Officer Fina then took plaintiffs property without inventorying it59.
On March 27, 2013 plaintiff asked Lieutenant Bender to give plaintiff back his personal property because plaintiff had not yet been transferred to SCI-Albion60. Lieutenant Bender responded “you may have to file another lawsuit to get that stuff back. All this trouble you’re going through could easily go away if you would just drop the lawsuit61.”
On April 1, 2013, plaintiff was transferred from SCI-Albion to SCI-Graterford and was housed on death row under ad*656ministrative custody status62. On April 11, 2013, plaintiff received his legal materials but did not receive his mitigation evidence 63. Plaintiff met with his attorneys on April 15, 2013, but was unable to provide them with his mitigation evidence because such evidence was withheld by Sargent Curran and Officer Kryeski64.
On April 17, 2013 plaintiff was reviewed by the Program Review Committee at SCI-Graterford during which he requested his mitigation evidence along with his cosmetic items65. Deputy Dohman responded to plaintiffs request stating “we’re lazy, we don’t have time to satisfy every temp, transfer” and “just buy new cosmetics”66.
On April 29, 2013 before being transported to the Criminal Justice Center in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, plaintiff asked J-Unit manager Joseph Terra for his mitigation evidence to which Terra responded “stop bitching”67.
On May 2, 2013 and then again on May 28, 2013 plaintiff spoke with Captain Spag-noletti during his tour of J-Unit and reported the withholding of plaintiffs mitigation evidence and other property68. On May 15, 2013 plaintiff spoke with J-Unit manager Terra about his mitigation evidence, to which plaintiff was told “all of your property was provided to you on [April 11, 2013]”69.
On June 7, 2013 Dr. Cooker, a mitigation expert witness, visited plaintiff at SCI-Graterford. Lieutenant Bender refused to give plaintiff his mitigation evidence for plaintiffs meeting with Dr. Cooker70. On June 10, 2013, plaintiff was given his mitigation evidence to attend a post-conviction hearing in Bucks County, Pennsylvania; however, such evidence was not applicable to that hearing71.
On June 18, 2013 plaintiff was transported from SCI-Graterford to SCI-Albion without his legal materials which were stored in SCI-Graterford’s Security department 72.
CONTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES
Supplemental Complaint
Plaintiffs Contentions
Plaintiff seeks leave to file a supplemental complaint under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(d) seeking to add allegations of retaliation which occurred subsequent to the filing of his Second Amended Complaint.
Defendants’ Contentions
Defendants argue that plaintiffs request should be denied because the request is incurable and futile.
Motion to Dismiss
Defendants’ Contentions
Defendant seeks dismissal of all claims in the Second Amended Complaint, including those set forth in the Supplemental Complaint, for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Defendant argues that the Eleventh Amendment bars *657plaintiffs Section 1983 claims for monetary damages against defendants, and, generally, that plaintiff has failed to show that certain defendants had personal involvement in the constitutional violations.
Specifically, defendant argues that plaintiff has failed to allege a denial-of-access-to-courts claim because plaintiff does not allege actual injury to a legitimate claim. Defendants argue that plaintiffs retaliations claims fail because, they allege, plaintiff has filed to allege what protected conduct he attempted to pursue, adverse action suffered, or causation.
Next, defendants argue that plaintiffs failure-to-intervene claims should be dismissed because he has not alleged that defendants had a duty and opportunity to intervene in an existing constitutional violation.
Additionally, defendants argue that plaintiff fails to state a due process violation against defendant Varner because a prison official’s denial of an inmate’s grievance does not constitute a due process violation. Defendants then argue that plaintiffs conspiracy claims must fail because plaintiff has not alleged any facts suggesting a meeting of the minds, agreement or mutual understanding.
Next, defendants argue that plaintiffs supervisory liability claims must fail because he has not identified a supervisory practice that the supervisor failed to employ, without which there was an unreasonable risk of the ultimate injury to which the supervisor was indifferent and which led to the underlying violation.
Finally, defendants allege that plaintiffs equal-protection-elause-violation claim must fail because plaintiff has not alleged that he is a member of a protected class or that he was selectively treated because of an intention to discriminate on the basis of impermissible conditions.
Plaintiffs Contentions
Plaintiff contends that defendants illegally confiscated and destroyed plaintiffs legal material concerning a pending capital case, and that those actions violated his constitutionally protected rights. Specifically, plaintiff contends that defendants Lewis, Aguiar, and Verosky denied him access to the courts which prevented him from preparing a litigable post-conviction-relief-act petition.
Next, plaintiff alleges that defendants conspired to cover-up the constitutional violations by falsifying records, misrepresenting facts, and stonewalling. Finally, plaintiff alleges that defendants actions denied plaintiff equal protection and due process rights.
Motion to Dismiss
Plaintiffs Contentions
Plaintiff contends that the Clerk of Court should enter default against defendants for failure to plead because defendants were ordered to respond to plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint by August 12, 2013 and failed to file a timely response to the Second Amended Complaint.
Defendants’ Contentions
Defendants contend that entry of default is not appropriate because defendants filed their motion to dismiss on August 23, 2013 which, according to the court’s August 21, 2013 Order, was a timely response.
DISCUSSION
Motion for Leave to Supplement Complaint
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 15(d) provides that “[u]pon motion of a party the court may, upon reasonable notice and upon such terms as are just, permit him to serve a supplemental pleading *658setting forth transactions or occurrences or events which have happened since the date of the pleading sought to be supplemented.” It is within the sound discretion of the district court whether to allow a party to file a supplemental pleading. Evans v. Lehman, 1995 WL 82526 (E.D.Pa. February 28, 1995) (Hutton, J.).
“An application for leave to file a supplemental pleading ... should be freely granted when doing so will promote the economic and speedy disposition of the entire controversy between the parties, will not cause undue delay or trial inconvenience, and will not prejudice the rights of any of the parties.” Evans, 1995 WL 82526 at *1.
Here, if taken as true, plaintiffs Supplemental Complaint sets forth claims that he is being retaliated against for filing the present action. Furthermore, defendants have not argued that they would be prejudiced by plaintiff supplementing his complaint, rather they argue that plaintiffs request should be denied as futile.
Because plaintiffs supplemental complaint adds claims which may state a cause of action for retaliation, and because defendants would not be prejudiced by plaintiff supplementing his second amended complaint, I grant plaintiffs motion for leave to file a supplemental complaint.
Therefore, as described above, plaintiffs [Second] Amended Complaint and plaintiffs Supplemental Complaint, together set forth plaintiffs claims in this matter.
Motion to Dismiss
Eleventh Amendment Bar
The Eleventh Amendment bars an action against a state regardless of whether the plaintiff seeks legal or equitable relief. See Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida, 517 U.S. 44, 54, 116 S.Ct. 1114, 134 L.Ed.2d 252 (1996). Additionally, the Eleventh Amendment extends immunity to suits against state officials in their official capacity because “a suit against a state official in his or her official capacity is ... no different from a suit against the State itself.” Will v. Michigan Department of State Police, 491 U.S. 58, 71, 109 S.Ct. 2304, 105 L.Ed.2d 45 (1989).
Plaintiffs [Second] Amended Complaint sues all defendants individually and in their official capacities. Because the Eleventh Amendment bars suits against such defendants in their official capacities, defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted to the extent is seeks dismissal of claims against all defendants in their official capacities.
Right to Access the Courts&emdash;Count 1
“It is now established beyond doubt that prisoners have a constitutional right of access to the courts.” Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 821, 97 S.Ct. 1491, 1494, 52 L.Ed.2d 72 (1977). To state a claim for denial of his right to access the courts plaintiff must allege (1) that the conduct complained of was committed by a person acting under color of state law; and (2) that the conduct deprived him of right of access to the courts. Muhammad v. Hilbert, 906 F.Supp. 267, 270 (E.D.Pa.1995) (Brodie, J.) (“Access to court must be adequate, effective and meaningful under the Federal Constitution.”) “[T]o pursue a claim of denial of access to the courts an inmate must allege actual injury, such as the loss or rejection of a legal claim.” Oliver v. Fauver, 118 F.3d 175, 177 (3d Cir.1997) (citing Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996)).
“[A] public employee acts under color of state law while acting in his official capacity or while exercising his responsibilities pursuant to state law.” West v. *659Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 50, 108 S.Ct. 2250, 2255, 101 L.Ed.2d 40, 50 (1988). See also Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 535-536, 101 S.Ct. 1908, 1913, 68 L.Ed.2d 420, 429 (1981) where the United States Supreme Court determined that conduct by state prison officials was “under color of state law”.
Because plaintiff alleges that the acts complained of were committed by defendants Lewis, Aguiar, Curran, and Krye-ski during the performance of their duties as state corrections officers, plaintiff has sufficiently pled that defendants acted under color of state law. See Scott v. Carette, 2013 WL 5842347 at *4 (E.D.Pa. October 31, 2013) (Surrick, J.).
“The right of access to the courts must be adequate, effective and meaningful and must be freely exercisable without hindrance or fear of retaliation.” Milhouse v. Carlson, 652 F.2d 371, 374 (3d Cir.1981) (internal citations removed). Here, plaintiff has alleged that his right of access to the courts was denied when defendants Lewis and Aguiar separated plaintiff from his legal materials which caused him to be unable to adequately litigate his direct appeal which therefore was denied on December 14, 2011. Because plaintiff has alleged a loss of a legal claim as a result of the removal of his legal documents, he has stated a claim of denial of access to courts. In Oliver v. Fauver, 118 F.3d 175, 177 (3d Cir.1997) the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that “to pursue a claim of denial of access to the courts an inmate must allege actual injury, such as the loss or rejection of a legal claim”.
With respect to defendants Cur-ran and Kryeski, plaintiff alleged that they withheld his legal materials during a meeting with his attorneys, but has not alleged the loss or rejection of a legal claim as a result. Therefore plaintiff has failed to state a claim for denial of access to the courts by defendants Curran and Kryeski.
Accordingly defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied to the extent it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claim of denial of access to courts against defendants Lewis and Aguiar. However, defendants’ motion to dismiss is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claims for denial of access to courts against defendants Cur-ran and Kryeski.
Retaliation — Count 16
In order to prevail on a § 1983 retaliation claim, plaintiff must allege that (1) the conduct which led to the retaliation was constitutionally protected; (2) plaintiff was subjected to adverse actions by a state actor; and (3) the protected activity was a substantial motivating factor in the state actor’s decision to take the adverse action. See Mt. Healthy City Board of Education v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274, 287, 97 S.Ct. 568, 576, 50 L.Ed.2d 471, 484 (1977); see also Alexander v. Fritch, 396 Fed.Appx. 867, 871 (3rd Cir.2010).
“As a threshold matter, a prisoner-plaintiff in a retaliation case must prove that the conduct which led to the alleged retaliation was constitutionally protected.” Rauser v. Horn, 241 F.3d 330, 333 (3d Cir.2001). Here plaintiffs conduct of filing a lawsuit against prison officials is constitutionally protected conduct. See Mearin v. Vidonish, 450 Fed.Appx. 100, 102 (3d Cir.2011). In Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 821, 97 S.Ct. 1491, 1494, 52 L.Ed.2d 72 (1977) the Supreme Court stated, “It is now established beyond doubt that prisoners have a constitutional right of access to the courts.”
Next, plaintiff must show that he was subject to adverse action by a state actor. Conduct is adverse action if a fact-finder could conclude that the alleged re*660taliatory conduct was sufficient “to deter a person of ordinary firmness” from exercising his rights. See Allah v. Seiverling, 229 F.3d 220, 225 (3d Cir.2000) (citing Suppan v. Dadonna, 203 F.3d 228, 235 (3d Cir. 2000)).
Here plaintiff has alleged that he was subject to adverse action when (1) he was told by defendant Moyer “we (officers) can do anything we want to you until you drop that lawsuit because you pissed-off the higher-ups”; (2) his request to make personal and legal phone calls was denied by defendant Dohman; (3) he was transferred to the death row wing and told by defendant Rivera “you better take the plea deal or you’ll be over there permanently”; (4) his request to have his property inventoried was denied by defendant Fina who stated “I could throw all this sh*t away just like we did before and nothing’s going to happen just like nothing happened before” and “go ahead and file another lawsuit”; (5) upon plaintiffs request for return of his personal property, including portions of his legal file, he was told by defendant Bender “you may have to file another lawsuit to get that stuff back. All this trouble you’re going through could easily go away if you would just drop the lawsuit”; (6) plaintiff was strip searched by defendant Hall who made derogatory remarks to plaintiff, instructed him to squeeze his penis and perform provocative acts, and upon plaintiffs request to use the sex abuse hotline, defendant Hall told plaintiff “file another lawsuit”; and (7) defendants Curran and Kryeski withheld plaintiffs mitigation evidence during a legal visit with Attorneys Mandell and Kauffman.
In this case, plaintiffs allegations of adverse action, if true, would be sufficient to deter a person of ordinary firmness from exercising his rights. In Allah, 229 F.3d at 225 (3d Cir.2000) the Third Circuit concluded that reduced access to phone calls, reduced access to the commissary, reduced access to recreation, confinement in his cell for all but five hours per week, denial of access to rehabilitative programs and, significantly, inadequate access to legal research materials and assistance, could significantly deter a person from exercising his first amendment rights.
Next plaintiff must show that the adverse action was by a state actor. Here plaintiff has alleged that defendants Moyer, Dohman, Rivera, Fina, Bender, Hall, Curran and Kryeski were responsible for the adverse actions in question. Defendants Moyer, Dohman, Rivera, Fina, Bender, Hall, Curran and Kryeski are all corrections officers employed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and as such, are state actors. Thus, plaintiff has satisfied the state actor requirement.
Plaintiffs retaliation claim states that such retaliation is in violation of the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The First Amendment’s protection of the right to petition applies in this matter. However, because plaintiffs lawsuit alleges misconduct by state officials he does not assert a Fifth Amendment claim, which only restricts federal government action, but rather states a Fourteenth Amendment claim for state action. See Feliciano v. Dohman, 2013 WL 1234225, *10 (E.D.Pa. March 26, 2013) where United States Senior District Judge Buckwalter stated that “the rights provided by the Fifth Amendment do not apply to the actions of state officials”; see also Nguyen v. United States Catholic Conference, 719 F.2d 52, 54 (3d Cir.1983). Accordingly, defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claim for a violation of the Fifth Amendment.
Finally, to state a claim for retaliation, plaintiff must allege that the protect*661ed activity was a substantial motivating factor in the state actor’s decision to take the adverse action. See Mt. Healthy, 429 U.S. at 287, 97 S.Ct. at 576, 50 L.Ed.2d at 484. Plaintiffs complaint contains various statements from defendants which demonstrate that the protected activity of filing a lawsuit was a substantial motivating factor in the prison official defendant’s adverse actions73.
Therefore, plaintiff has sufficiently pled a cause of action for retaliation against defendants Moyer, Dohman, Rivera, Fina, Bender, Hall, Curran, and Kryeski. Accordingly, to the extent defendants’ motion to dismiss seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claim for retaliation by defendants Moyer, Doh-man, Rivera, Fina, Bender, Hall, Curran and Kryeski (Count 16), the motion to dismiss is denied.
Conspiracy — Counts 3, 4, 8, 11, 13
To state a Section 1983 conspiracy claim, a plaintiff must allege: (1) the existence of a conspiracy involving state action; and (2) a depravation of civil rights in furtherance of the conspiracy by a party to the conspiracy. See Panayotides v. Rabenold, 35 F.Supp.2d 411, 419 (E.D.Pa.1999) (Joyner, J.), aff'd, 210 F.3d 358 (3d Cir.2000).
As such, a claim for conspiracy pursuant to Section 1983 must specifically allege the “combination, agreement, or understanding among all or between any of the defendants to plot, plan, or conspire to carry out the alleged chain of events.” Id. (citations omitted). “Only allegations of conspiracy which are particularized, such as those addressing the period of the conspiracy, the object of the conspiracy, and certain other actions of the alleged conspirators taken to achieve that purpose will be deemed sufficient.” Id.
Plaintiff alleges a multi-party conspiracy the purpose of which was to deny plaintiff access to the courts. He alleges that defendants Lewis Aguiar and Verosky conspired together to deprive plaintiff of his constitutional rights when they conspired to remove plaintiffs legal materials. Plaintiff further alleges that in furtherance of the conspiracy defendant Kryeski deprived plaintiff of his rights by assuring him that all of his legal materials were present when in fact they were not and defendants Wenerowicz, Varner, and With-erite participated in the conspiracy to cover up the violation of plaintiffs rights by ignoring plaintiffs complaints and refusing to investigate and dismissing grievances.
Conspiracy claims must be based on more than merely suspicion and speculation. Young v. Kann, 926 F.2d 1396, 1405 (3d Cir.1991). However, because plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and because the allegations in his complaint set forth allegations that could constitute a conspiracy between defendants Lewis, Aguiar, Verosky, Kryeski, Wenerowicz, Varner, and Witherite, plaintiff has satisfied the first requirement for pleading a conspiracy.
In Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106, 97 S.Ct. 285, 292, 50 L.Ed.2d 251, 261 (1976) the United States Supreme Court stated that
a pro se complaint, “however inartfully pleaded”, must be held to “less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted *662by lawyers” and can only be dismissed for failure to state a claim if it appears “beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.”
(citing Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 92 S.Ct. 594, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972)).
Plaintiff has adequately pled that the conspiracy led to a deprivation of his rights because, as discussed above, plaintiff has stated a claim that defendants’ actions resulted in a denial of his right to access courts.
Accordingly, because plaintiff has stated a claim for civil conspiracy, defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied to the extent it seeks to dismiss Counts 3, 4, 8, 11, 13 for conspiracy.
Failure to Intervene — Counts 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 17
A law enforcement officer is directly liable under Section 1983 if such officer, “whether supervisory or not, fails or refuses to intervene when a constitutional violation ... takes place in his presence.” Smith v. Mensinger, 293 F.3d 641, 650 (3d Cir.2002). “However, an officer is only liable if there is a realistic and reasonable opportunity to intervene.” Smith, 293 F.3d at 651.
Failure to Intervene — Denial of Access to Courts
With regard to defendants Aguiar and Verosky, plaintiff has asserted that both defendants were present as defendant Lewis destroyed plaintiffs legal materials and neither intervened to stop this civil rights violation. Because plaintiff has alleged that defendants were present, and because he has alleged that a civil rights violation occurred, I conclude that these officers had a realistic and reasonable opportunity to intervene in defendant Lewis’s misconduct. See e.g. Anderson v. City of Philadelphia, 2012 WL 3235163 (E.D.Pa. August 8, 2012) (Buckwalter, S.J.). Accordingly, defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs failure to intervene claims against defendants Aguiar and Verosky in Counts 5 and 6.
With regard to defendant Wener-owicz, although plaintiff has alleged that defendant Wenerowicz was aware of an alleged civil rights violation, plaintiff has not alleged that defendant Wenerowicz was present during the violation or had a realistic and reasonable opportunity to intervene. Accordingly, defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted to the extent it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs failure to intervene claims against defendant Wenerowicz in Count 9.
Failure to Intervene — Conspiracy
With regard to plaintiffs failure to intervene claims against defendants Varner and Witherite for failure to intervene and stop the conspiracy to deny plaintiffs access to courts, plaintiff alleged that defendants Varner and Witherite were aware of the conspiracy to deny plaintiffs access to courts and failed to intervene and remedy the situation.
Here plaintiff has alleged that defendant Varner knew about the conspiracy to deprive plaintiff of his right of access to courts and as Chief Grievance Officer for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, failed to investigate and stop the conspiracy. With regard to defendant Witherite, plaintiff alleges that as staff assistant to Secretary of Corrections Wet-zel, defendant Witherite knew of the conspiracy to deprive plaintiffs access to courts after receiving a letter from plaintiff explaining the conspiracy and that defendant Witherite failed to intervene and stop the conspiracy.
*663Because plaintiff has alleged that defendants Varner and Witherite both knew of an ongoing conspiracy to deprive plaintiff of his rights, and because plaintiff has alleged that they were in the position to investigate and stop the conspiracy, and yet did not, plaintiff has adequately stated a claim for failure to intervene to stop the conspiracy to deprive plaintiff of his right of access to courts against both defendants Varner and Witherite.
Accordingly defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied to the extent it seeks to dismiss claims for failure to intervene against defendants Varner and Witherite in Counts 10 and 12.
Failure to Intervene — Retaliation
With regard to plaintiffs failure to intervene claims against defendants Krye-ski, Curran, Bender, Everding, Terra, Spagnoletti, and Wenerowicz for failure to intervene while he was being retaliated against in violation of Section 1983, plaintiff has only alleged that defendants Krye-ski and Curran were present during the violation or had a realistic and reasonable opportunity to intervene during retaliation. Specifically, defendants Kryeski and Cur-ran each decided to withhold mitigation evidence in the presence of the other and each failed to intervene in the other’s withholding.
However, plaintiff alleges that defendants Bender, Everding, Terra, Spag-noletti, and Wenerowicz were notified about the retaliatory conduct during conversation with plaintiff or through grievances, not that they were present or had a realistic and reasonable opportunity to intervene and stop the retaliation.
Accordingly defendants’ motion to dismiss is denied to the extent it seeks to dismiss claims for failure to intervene against defendants Kryeski and Curran in Count 17. Defendants’ motion to dismiss is granted to the extent it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claims for failure to intervene against defendants Bender, Everding, Terra, Spagnoletti, and Wenerowicz in Count 17.
Supervisor Liability — Counts 2, 7, 14
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has explained that there are two theories of supervisory liability in a Section 1983 action: (1) supervisors can be liable in their official capacity if they established and maintained a policy, practice, or custom which directly caused constitutional harm; or, (2) they, can be liable personally if they participated in violating the plaintiffs rights, directed others to violate them, or, as persons in charge, had knowledge of and acquiesced in their subordinates’ violations. Santiago v. Warminster Township, 629 F.3d 121, 128-129 n. 4 (3d Cir.2010). In Baker v. Monroe Township, 50 F.3d 1186, 1190-1191 (3d Cir.1995) the Third Circuit held that to support a claim of supervisor liability a plaintiff must show that defendant participated in violating his rights, or that he directed others to violate them, or that he had knowledge of and acquiesced in his subordinates’ violations.
Plaintiff asserted supervisor liability against defendant Verosky for acquiescing in defendants Lewis and Aguiar removal of plaintiffs legal documents. Therefore he has adequately stated a claim for supervisory liability because a supervisor can be liable for having knowledge of and acquiescing in their subordinates’ violations.
Additionally, plaintiff asserted supervisor liability against defendant Wener-owicz for knowing of the alleged conspiracy to destroy legal documents and failing to remedy the wrong; and against defendant Wetzel for knowing of the violation of plaintiffs rights and failing to investigate and intervene despite ample time. Defen*664dant has not alleged that either defendant personally directed or had actual knowledge of, and acquiesced in, the alleged civil rights violations which plaintiff suffered.
Therefore plaintiff has not stated a claim of supervisor liability against defendant Wenerowicz or Wetzel. Accordingly, defendants’ motion to dismiss is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claims against defendants Wenerow-icz and Wetzel for supervisor liability.
Equal Protection Clause Violation&emdash;Count 15
Plaintiff has alleged a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because while held in SCI-Graterford, he was transferred from the J-Unit to the L-Unit. “The Equal Protection Clause requires that all people similarly situated be treated alike.” Gilliam v. Holt, 188 Fed.Appx. 79, 81 (3d Cir.2006).
To state a claim for an equal protection clause violation, a plaintiff must show that (1) compared with others similarly situated he was selectively treated, and (2) the selective treatment was motivated by an intention to discriminate on the basis of impermissible considerations, such as race or religion, to punish or inhibit the exercise of constitutional rights, or by a malicious or bad faith intent to injure the person. Sabatini v. Reinstein, 1999 WL 636667 (E.D.Pa. August 20, 1999) (Ludwig, J.).
Here, plaintiff alleges that all other pending capital case inmates were housed in J-Unit, thus his transfer to L-Unit was against policy and was discriminatory. Plaintiff has not alleged, however, that his transfer was motivated by an intention to discriminate for impermissible considerations.
Therefore plaintiff has failed to state a claim for an equal protection clause violation. Accordingly, defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs claim for an equal protection clause violation.
Due Process Violation&emdash;Count 18
Plaintiff has alleged a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment because of defendant Varner’s failure to address the grievances he filed and the inadequacy of the response which he received.
In Jackson v. Beard, 2008 WL 879923 (E.D.Pa. March 31, 2008), United States Senior District Judge Buckwalter dismissed plaintiffs claims where such claims rested on denial or failure to investigate grievances because prison grievance procedures confer only procedural protections, not substantive rights. In doing so he stated that “Inmate grievance procedures in themselves do not confer a liberty interest protected by the Due Process Clause.”
Accordingly, defendants’ motion to dismiss is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss plaintiffs due process claim against defendant Varner.
Request for Entry of Default
“When a party against whom a judgment or affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend, and that failure is shown by affidavit or otherwise, the clerk must enter the party’s default.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(a).
Plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint asserts causes of action against defendants Wetzel, Witherite, Varner, Wenerowicz, Shaylor, Verosky, Lewis, Aguiar, and Kryeski. Plaintiffs Supplemental Complaint asserts causes of action against defendants Varner, Wenerowicz, Shaylor, Dohman, Spagnoletti, Terra, Bender, Cox, Everding, Moyer, Fina, Curran, Kryeski, Rivera, and Hall.
*665Although plaintiffs Request for Entry of Default does not name the specific defendants against whom he requests default be entered, because a district court has an obligation to construe pro se plaintiffs’ pleadings liberally and a reasonable construction of plaintiffs request seeks default entered against each defendant, I consider plaintiffs request to refer to each of the above named defendants.
Defendants’ response to plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint was due by August 26, 2013. On August 23, 2013 defendants Varner, Wenerowicz, Shaylor, Dohman, Spagnoletti, Terra, Bender, Cox, Everding, Moyer, Fina, Curran, Kryeski, Rivera, and Hall filed the Commonwealth Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint.
Footnote 1 of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint states “defendants include by reference the arguments presented in their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs Amended Complaint.” This motion, incorporated by reference, was filed on behalf of defendants Wetzel, Witherite, Varner, Wenerowicz, Shaylor, Verosky, Lewis, Kryeski and Aguiar.
Therefore, because all defendants have responded to plaintiffs Second Amended Complaint, either directly, or by reference, in a timely fashion, entry of default is not appropriate against any defendant.
CONCLUSION
For all the foregoing reasons, defendants’ motion for leave to file a supplemental complaint is granted.
Defendants’ motion to dismiss is granted in part and denied in part. Defendant’s motion is granted to the extent that it seeks to dismiss Counts 7, 9, 14, 15, and 18. It is further granted to the extent it seeks to dismiss Count 17 with respect to defendants Bender, Everding, Terra, Spagnoletti, and Wenerowicz. Defendant’s motion to dismiss is denied in all other respects.
Finally, plaintiffs Request for Entry of Default is denied.

In Footnote 1 of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, defendants explain that in my July 22, 2013 Order, I stated that plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint contained 15 counts whereas, by defendants’ count, it only contained 6 counts. Defendants then mention that they believed that the court may be including plaintiff's Amended Complaint by reference.
The fifth paragraph of footnote 1 of my July 22, 2013 Order lists the 15 specific claims which plaintiff included in his [Proposed Second] Amended Complaint. As explained above, my July 22, 2013 Order also directed the Clerk of Court to file plaintiff’s [Proposed Second] Amended Complaint, which the Clerk of Court did file that date on the docket as document number 33.
It appears that defendants' motion to dismiss the second amended complaint treats plaintiff’s Supplemental Complaint Notice as the second amended complaint. However, plaintiff's Supplemental Complaint Notice was not considered in my July 22, 2013 Order. Rather, the Order directed defendants to respond to plaintiff’s second amended complaint.
Footnote 1 of defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint further states "to the extent Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint includes claims made in his Amended Complaint, Commonwealth defendants include by reference the arguments presented in their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint”.
Because the within Commonwealth Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint incorporates the arguments made in Commonwealth Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, I have considered the arguments made in both motions.
. The United States Supreme Court's Opinion in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 684, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1953, 173 L.Ed.2d 868, 887 (2009), states clearly that the “facial plausibility” pleading standard set forth in Twombly applies to all civil suits in the federal courts. Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir.2009). This showing of facial plausibility then “allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged”, and that plaintiff is entitled to relief. Fowler, 578 F.3d at 210 (quoting Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. at 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d at 884).
