at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel, where all of the defendants are
employed as officers or officials. On August 2, 2012, I granted plaintiff leave to proceed on
the claims in his amended complaint against defendants Timothy Haines, Thomas Belz,
Keith Wiegal, Timothy Jones, Scott Jones, Michael Cockcroft, Matthew Scullion, Thomas
Brown, Todd Brudos, Dan Esser, Susan Gallinger, Peter Brinkman, Laverne Wallace,

unnamed correctional officers. On October 9, 2012, plaintiff moved to voluntarily dismiss
all of the defendants except Timothy Haines.
On October 17, 2012, all of the defendants except Haines advised the court that they
would stipulate to plaintiff’s voluntary dismissal of the action. Accordingly, the case will be
dismissed against all of the stipulating defendants and proceed against Timothy Haines only
and only on plaintiff’s claim that Warden Timothy Haines failed to take action or protect
plaintiff from harm after he complained about exposure to toxic chemicals in his cell and
banging on the walls of his cell, preventing plaintiff from being able to sleep.
