Lewis, Jerry v. Haines, Timothy et al

Filing 30

ORDER denying 29 Motion for conference call with court to clarify questions re 21 Pretrial Conference Order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 3/12/2014. (jef),(ps)

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

JERRY LEE LEWIS,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

13-cv-457-bbc

JEROME SWEENEY, et al.,
Defendants.

Pro se prisoner Jerry Lee Lewis is proceeding on a claim that various prison officials
violated his rights under the Eighth Amendment by using painful restraints on him from March
2012 to May 2012 even though less painful alternatives were available. On December 2, 2013,
the court held a preliminary pretrial conference to set a case schedule and provide information
to the parties about the court’s procedures. Dkt. 21.
Now plaintiff has filed a one-page document in which he says that he has “numerous
questions that need clarifying from this court dealing with the court instructions plaintiff is to
follow.” Dkt. 29. However, he does not identify what any of those questions are and he does
not explain why he did not raise any of his questions during the conference.
In any event, the court’s schedule does not allow for additional conferences each time a
party has a question, so I am denying his motion. If plaintiff wants more guidance, he is free to
submit his questions to the court in writing.
Entered this 12th day of March, 2014.
BY THE COURT:

STEPHEN L. CROCKER
Magistrate Judge
