UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SIR JORDAN COSBY,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 16-C-823
TREVOR KLEMMER and
GREGORY PETERSON,
Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff, Sir Jordan Cosby, an inmate at Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI) filed a pro
se civil rights action alleging that two correctional officers violated his constitutional rights by body
slamming him face first on to a hard concrete floor resulting in the loss of teeth, a severe laceration
on the inside of his lip, and frequent headaches and flashbacks. Pending before the court is the
plaintiff’s renewed motion for appointment of counsel and the defendant’s motion to stay the case
and referral to mediation. Defendant also states no objection to the appointment of counsel for
purposes of mediation.
Based upon the foregoing, plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel is granted. The
court will attempt to recruit counsel for the limited purpose of representing Cosby at the mediation
that the parties have requested.
The motion for a stay is also granted, and this case is, therefore, referred to a Magistrate
Judge David E. Jones to conduct mediation proceedings in this case, the particular procedures for
which shall be within his discretion.
The parties will be contacted by the assigned magistrate judge once counsel is recruited for
the plaintiff. The case shall be returned to me following the mediation effort for further action
consistent with the result.
Dated this
25th
day of January, 2017.
