MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter comes before the Court for case management purposes. In a December 8, 2015,
order (Doc. 64), the Court gave plaintiff Darius Harris 90 days to file the affidavit required by 735 ILCS
§ 5/2-622(a) to support Count 4 against defendants Dr. Larson and Dr. Shah and Count 7 against
defendants Gladyse C. Taylor and Wexford Health Sources, Inc. The Court further warned Harris that
his failure to file a timely and adequate report may result in dismissal of Counts 4 and 7 without further
warning. That deadline has passed, and Harris has not filed the required affidavit. Accordingly, as it
warned it would do, the Court DISMISSES without prejudice Count 4 against defendants Dr. Larson
and Dr. Shah and Count 7 against defendants Gladyse C. Taylor and Wexford Health Sources, Inc. and
DIRECTS the Clerk of Court to enter judgment accordingly at the close of the case. Defendants
Gladyse C. Taylor and Wexford Health Sources, Inc. are terminated from this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
