ORDER

On September 2, 2011, pro se petitioner Victor T. Jackson filed a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus and on December 12, 2011, the respondent filed his answer. The court issued
a scheduling order pursuant to which the plaintiff’s brief in support of his petition was due by no

The petitioner did not file a brief or a request for an extension time by that date.
Because he is proceeding pro se, the court provided him an additional opportunity to file his
brief and also notified him that if failed to do so by March 16, 2012, the court would dismiss the
case for failure to prosecute pursuant to Civil Local Rule 41(c) (E.D. Wis.). (Court’s Order of
February 15, 2012 at 1-2).
As of today’s date, the petitioner has not filed a brief or a request for an extension of time
1

in which to do so. Accordingly, this case is dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Civil
Local Rule 41(c).
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this case be and hereby is dismissed.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall enter judgment accordingly.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 22nd day of March, 2012.
