UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
CHRISTOPHER GOODVINE, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 06-C-0862

NURSE MARY GORSKE, DR. CHARLES LARSON, CAPTAIN SCHUELER, BELINDA SCHRUBBE, MIKE THURMER, PHIL KINGSTON, CYNTHIA THORPE, NURSE GAIL WALTZ, BRUCE A. SIEDSCHLAG and SGT SIEDSCHLAG, Defendants. DECISION AND ORDER Plaintiff, Christopher Goodvine, a state prisoner at all times relevant, is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In a decision and order dated September 29, 2009, I granted in part and denied in part plaintiff's motion to amend. I directed the parties to confer on their current discovery issues and report back to the court on an acceptable discovery schedule. On November 12, 2009, counsel for defendants submitted a letter indicating that the parties have agreed to extend discovery an additional seventy-five days, to begin after plaintiff files his amended complaint with the court. To date, plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Consequently, I will set deadlines for plaintiff to file his amended complaint, for the close of discovery, and for the filing of dispositive motions. Failure to comply with these deadlines may result in dismissal for lack of prosecution under Civil L.R. 41.3 (attached). For the foregoing reasons,

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff shall file an amended complaint on or before Thursday, December 31, 2009. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall have until Monday, March 15, 2010 to conduct discovery. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file any dispositive motions on or before Thursday, April 15, 2010. Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 11 day of December, 2009.
