DECISION AND ORDER

A review of this file discloses that the defendants filed a motion for summary
judgment on January 10, 2014. Court records indicate that copies of the motion and
supporting brief were mailed to the plaintiff on January 10, 2014. The plaintiff has been
granted two extensions of time to respond to the motion. The latest order granted him until
May 15, 2014, to respond to the defendants’ summary judgment motion.
Court records show that the plaintiff did not file any response to the
defendants’ motion. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that this action be dismissed with prejudice for lack of
prosecution effective June 10, 2014, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 41(c) (E.D. Wis.) (copy
enclosed) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), unless prior to that date the plaintiff
responds to the defendants’ motion or establishes just cause for his failure to respond to said

motion as required.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 21st day of May, 2014.
SO ORDERED,

HON. RUDOLPH T. RANDA
U. S. District Judge
