Plaintiff,
v.

11-cv-143-slc

MICHAEL DITTMANN, GARY HAMBLIN,
DEBORAH MEJCHAR, SALLY WESS
and RANDY TRINUD 1,
Defendants.

__________________________________________________________________________________
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has indicated that it will represent the defendants
in this case. Pursuant to an informal service agreement between the Department and this court,
the Department has agreed to accept electronic service of documents on behalf of the defendants
it represents. Therefore, for the remainder of this lawsuit, plaintiff does not have to send a paper
copy of each document he files with the court to the Department. All he has to do is submit the
document to the court, and the Department will access the document through the court’s
electronic filing system.
Discovery requests or responses are an exception to the electronic service rule. Usually,
those documents should be sent directly to counsel for the opposing party and do not have to
be sent to the court. Discovery procedures will be explained more fully at the preliminary pretrial
conference.

Entered this 13th day of July, 2011.
