OPINION
SUE E. MYERSCOUGH, U.S. District Judge:
A status conference was held on June 11, 2012 by telephone conference.
Attorney Mehlick indicated that he had no information on a current address for
Defendant “C. Taylor,” whose first name was identified as Christina. According to
Mr. Mehlick, Taylor worked for Medical Staffing Network, which no longer
contracts with the Sangamon County Jail. Mr. Mehlick did have an address for
Taylor from several years ago, but reported that he recalled Taylor expressing that
she was moving to North or South Carolina. The Court attempted a “reverse look
up” on www.whitepages.com using the address provided by Mr. Mehlick, but the
person associated with that address is not Ms. Taylor. The Court also attempted to
look up Medical Staffing Network on the website for the Illinois Secretary of State,
1

but the search turned up many businesses with that name. The Court has tried to
assist Plaintiff in locating Defendant Taylor, but Plaintiff bears the ultimate
responsibility for locating Taylor. Plaintiff also bears the responsibility for serving
Taylor pursuant to Local Rule 16.3(D) since he paid the filing fee in full. IT IS
THEREFORE ORDERED:
1)

Plaintiff shall have until September 4, 2012 to serve Taylor, or she

will be dismissed without prejudice.
2)

By July 31, 2012, the parties shall provide to each other the initial

disclosures described in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(i)-(ii).
3)

The deadline for filing an amended complaint and identifying

unknown parties is September 4, 2012.
4) Plaintiff shall disclose expert witnesses and expert testimony pursuant to
the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) by October 1, 2012.
5) Defendants shall disclose expert witnesses and expert testimony pursuant
to the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) by November 1, 2012.
6) Discovery closes February 4, 2013.
7) Dispositive motions are due March 4, 2013.
8) Plaintiff's incarceration limits him to written discovery. Written
discovery must be served on a party at least 30 days before the discovery deadline.

and the response. Additionally, except for good cause shown, motions to compel
must be filed within 14 days of receiving an unsatisfactory response to a timely
discovery request.
9) A final pretrial conference is scheduled for October 7, 2013, at 1:30 p.m..
Defendants’ counsel shall appear in person. Plaintiff shall appear by video. The
parties are directed to submit an agreed, proposed final pretrial order at least 14
days before the final pretrial conference.
10) The jury trial is scheduled on the Court’s trailing trial calendar for
November 5, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. before this Court in Springfield, Illinois. The
actual date for jury selection and jury trial will be finalized at the final pretrial
conference.
