UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DAVID CZAPIEWSKI,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 16-C-1709

ZACHARY PINGEL, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER
Plaintiff filed a motion asking the court for an order directing the “business office”
to allow him to use his legal loan to pay for copies of his health services file. Docket No.
74. He explains that the business office asked for proof of his need for the copies.
However, the court has no authority to supervise the Department of Correction’s
administration of its legal-loan policies, and it cannot order the department’s business
office to provide plaintiff with funds that he may need to litigate this case. In any event,
it seems that the business office is merely requesting that plaintiff provide
documentation to substantiate his need to make copies from his health file. To satisfy
the business office’s request, plaintiff may submit a copy of the court’s screening order
identifying the claims he has been allowed to proceed on. Or he could submit a copy of
the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, which shows that plaintiff’s medical
records are relevant to this case. For these reasons, I will deny plaintiff’s motion.
Plaintiff also asks for a third extension of time to respond to defendants’ motion
for summary judgment and to file a reply in support of his own motion for summary
judgment. Docket No. 75. I will grant plaintiff’s motion; however, I caution him that this is
the last extension I will grant.

IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for order for copies (Docket No. 74) is
DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for extension of time (Docket
No. 75) is GRANTED. Plaintiff’s materials in response to defendants’ motion for
summary judgment and his reply in support of his own motion for summary judgment
are due on June 16, 2018. No extensions of this deadline will be granted.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 20th day of March, 2018.
