UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
NOAH M. SANDERS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 20-CV-925

TAMRA WOLLIN, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
On September 28, 2021, the court issued an order instructing pro se plaintiff
Noah M. Sanders to use the discovery process to identify the John Doe Defendant.
(ECF No. 17.) The court gave Sanders until December 28, 2021, to file a motion
identifying the real name of the Doe defendant and cautioned him that failure to do
so by that deadline would result in the dismissal of the Doe defendant.
The court notes that its September 28 order was returned as undeliverable.
(ECF No. 18.) According to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections inmate locator
site, https://appsdoc.wi.gov/lop/detail.do, Sanders is on community supervision and
did not report a forwarding address. In the April 15, 2021, order screening the
amended complaint, Sanders was informed that it was his responsibility to promptly
notify the court if he is released from custody, and that the failure to keep the court

advised of his whereabouts may negatively impact his case, including dismissal of the
suit. (ECF No. 12 at 10.)
The December 28, 2021, deadline to identify the Doe defendant has passed,
and Sanders did not file a motion to identify the Doe defendant or seek an extension.
Accordingly, the John Doe defendant is dismissed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the John Doe defendant is
DISMISSED.

Dated in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 14th day of February, 2022.
