UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
LANITA DOTSON,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 20-CV-1767

JAMES FAULKNER, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
On April 7, 2023, the State Defendants, Sarah Cooper, Kalen Ruck, and Amy
Finke, filed a motion for summary judgment on the merits on the claims against
them. (ECF No. 70.) Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 56(b)(2), plaintiff Lanita Dotson’s
response was due within 30 days.
That deadline has passed, and Dotson, who is represented by counsel, still
has not filed a response. As such, the court will construe the motion as unopposed.
The court has reviewed the defendants’ motion, brief in support, and the undisputed
facts, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e)(2), and concludes that the State Defendants are
entitled to summary judgment on the merits and are dismissed from the case.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the State Defendants’ motion for
summary judgment (ECF No. 70) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the State Defendants, Sarah Cooper,

Kalen Ruck, and Amy Finke are DISMISSED.

Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin this 22nd day of May, 2023.
