UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
PAUL ALLEN ADAMS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 17-CV-699

RANDALL R. HEPP, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER

The court held a telephonic hearing on April 30, 2019, to address issues raised
in plaintiff Paul Adams’s motion to compel. After considering the parties’ arguments,
the court orders as follows:
The court GRANTS in part Adams’s motion to compel (ECF No. 79). The
defendants will produce correspondence responsive to Adams’s discovery requests by
May 7, 2019. The defendants will also produce by May 7, 2019, any relevant
documents maintained in defendant Regina Henrich’s file that have not already been
produced.
The court GRANTS the defendants’ oral motion to extend the dispositive
motion deadline. The parties must file dispositive motions by May 24, 2019. Under
Civil L.R. 56(b)(2), materials in response to a summary judgment motion must be
filed within thirty days of service of the summary judgment motion. A moving party

may reply in support of their motion within fourteen days of service of the opposing
party’s materials.
As a reminder, if the defendants file a summary judgment motion, Adams must
respond to each of their proposed findings of fact by agreeing with the proposed fact
or explaining why he disagrees with it. If he does not indicate one way or the other,
the court will assume that he agrees with the proposed fact. He must also support
any disagreement with a proposed fact with evidence. He can do that by relying on
documents or by telling the court his version of what happened in an affidavit or an
unsworn declaration under 28 U.S.C. § 1746.1 An unsworn declaration is a way for a
party to tell his side of the story while declaring to the court that everything in the
declaration is true and correct. Adams must also respond to the legal arguments in
the defendants’ brief.
Finally, the court GRANTS the defendants’ oral motion to file up to 175
proposed findings of fact.
Dated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 30th day of April, 2019.

WILLIAM E. DUFFIN
U.S. Magistrate Judge
