Filing 21

ORDER signed by Judge J.P. Stadtmueller on 4/4/2017 DENYING 20 Plaintiff's Motion for Order regarding Discovery. (cc: all counsel, via mail to Alfonso Lorenzo Brooks at Oneida County Jail) (jm)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ALFONSO LORENZO BROOKS,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 16-CV-1393-JPS

v.
C.O. TYLER and C.O. COPELAND,
Defendants.

ORDER

On March 27, 2017, Plaintiff filed a motion, captioned “Motion for
Court Order,” asking that the Court “request the defense to help retrieve any
and all documentation” of the incident underlying his complaint. (Docket
#20). The Court cannot provide this assistance. The Court does not involve
itself directly in the discovery process, fashioning appropriate discovery
requests for one party to direct to another. The motion must, therefore, be
denied. The Court encourages Plaintiff to review the litigation guides it
provided with the January 23, 2017 trial scheduling order for information on
conducting discovery.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for court order (Docket #20)
be and the same is hereby DENIED.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 4th day of April, 2017.
BY THE COURT:

J.P. Stadtmueller
U.S. District Judge
