ORDER

Defendants.

In an order entered November 19, 2009, I denied plaintiff's motion to compel defendants K n o c h and Lazorik to produce a copy of plaintiff's medical records from the University of Wisconsin H o sp ital and Clinics. I explained to plaintiff that he should be able to send a written request directly to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics to obtain a copy of his records. Now plaintiff h a s submitted a letter to the court requesting a subpoena for the production of his medical records. H e does not indicate on the document that he sent a request to the University of Wisconsin Hospital a n d Clinics as I instructed him to do in the November 19 order. Plaintiff should be able to obtain a copy of his medical file simply by writing to the University o f Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and asking that the records he wants be sent to him. Plaintiff's req u est for the issuance of a subpoena will be denied. ORD ER IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff's request for the issuance of a subpoena, dkt. 48, is DENIED. E n ter ed this 3 rd day of December, 2009. B Y THE COURT: /s / S T E P H E N L. CROCKER M a g is tr a te Judge
