Doe v. County of Milwaukee et al

Filing 263

ORDER signed by Judge J.P. Stadtmueller on 6/16/2017 DENYING 262 Defendant County of Milwaukee's Motion For Leave to Contact Jurors. (cc: all counsel) (jm)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SHONDA MARTIN,
Plaintiff,

v.

Case No. 14-CV-200-JPS-JPS

COUNTY OF MILWAUKEE, and
XAVIER D. THICKLEN,

ORDER

Defendants.
On June 7, 2017, the jury returned a verdict in this matter in favor of
Plaintiff. (Docket #259). On June 15, 2017, Defendant County of Milwaukee
requested leave to contact members of the jury for purposes of obtaining
feedback on their trial presentation. (Docket #262). While the Court
appreciates counsels’ desire to learn about their performance, the Court
believes it is most prudent at this stage of the case to continue the general
prohibition on juror contact. See Gen. L. R. 47(c). The motion will be denied.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant County of Milwaukee’s motion for
leave to contact jurors (Docket #262) be and the same is hereby DENIED.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 16th day of June, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
