Plaintiff,

v.
WILLIAM SWIEKATOWSKI,
Defendant.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This case is set for trial on August 24, 2015. Plaintiff Mustafa-El K.A. Ajala has
filed a motion to allow him and two prisoner witnesses to appear at trial in street clothes.
Dkt. #120. I have denied plaintiff’s request to allow the other prisoners to testify, dkt.
#111, so that portion of plaintiff’s motion is DENIED as moot.

Defendant does not

oppose plaintiff’s own request to wear street clothes, so the motion is GRANTED as it
applies to plainitff.
This court's policy is that plaintiff must make his own arrangements for street
clothing by asking family members or friends to have his street clothing delivered to the
office of the United States Marshal, 120 N. Henry Street, Madison, WI 53703. To avoid

1

delays in the trial, any clothes plaintiff wishes to wear must be brought to the
courthouse not later than 2 p.m. on Friday, August 21, 2015. Alternatively, plaintiff
could ask prison officials to transfer his clothing to the marshal when they bring him to the
courthouse for trial. Whether they would agree to do this is a matter within their discretion.
Entered this 14th day of August, 2015.
