Filing 87

ORDER granting 86 MOTION to Waive Service Requirement. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 11/4/09. (elc),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

CHRISTOPHER GOODVINE, Plaintiff, v. WILLIAM SWIEKATOWSKI, SARAH COOPER, CHAPLAIN M. DONOVAN, WILLIAM POLLARD, PETER ERICKSEN, MICHAEL MOHR, TOM GOZINSKE, RICK RAEMISCH, JOHN BETT, DAN WESTFIELD, MATTHEW FRANK, and DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Defendants. ORDER 08-cv-702-bbc

Plaintiff has filed his materials in reply to his motion for summary judgment and in response to defendants' motion for summary judgment. Now before the court is plaintiff's motion to waive the requirement to serve defendants with these documents. Plaintiff has shown that he does not have the means to serve the documents on defendants' counsel. Further, these documents are available electronically. As a practical matter, it does not make sense for plaintiff to be required to serve the paper documents. Therefore, I will grant plaintiff's motion.

ORDER IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's motion to waive service requirement, dkt. 86, is GRANTED. Entered this 4th day of November, 2009. BY THE COURT: /s/ STEPHEN L. CROCKER Magistrate Judge
