UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
NUGENE JACKSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 20-CV-475

RAUL GUZMAN,
Defendant.
ORDER
On February 3, 2022, pro se plaintiff Nugene Jackson filed a motion to
voluntarily dismiss his case. (ECF No. 52.) He states he cannot defend the defendants’
motion for summary judgment because the law library at his institution is closed due
to COVID-19 restrictions. The court, in its order dated January 3, 2022, explained to
Jackson that, in order to respond to the defendants’ motion for summary judgment,
he simply has to present facts to demonstrate that he was subjected to excessive force,
and that he did not need to focus on the law because the court knows the law. (ECF
No. 51 at 4.) The court has also previously explained that Jackson may move for an
extension of time if he needs more time to file a response. (See ECF No. 48 at 2.)
Nevertheless, Jackson has chosen to dismiss his case. The court GRANTS his
voluntary motion to dismiss (ECF No. 52).
