ORDER
15-cv-780-jdp

Defendants.
Pro se plaintiff Allen P. Galowski is proceeding on claims that defendants, staff at the
Marathon County Jail, failed to properly treat his various serious medical needs when he was
incarcerated there. He moves for summary judgment, Dkt. 64, but his motion does not comply
with the court’s pretrial conference order. Dkt. 30. Galowski should pay careful attention to
the court’s procedures to be followed on motions for summary judgment and in particular to
the portions discussing (1) the rules governing proposed findings of fact; and (2) the
requirement that exhibits on which a plaintiff intends to rely be authenticated and admissible.
Id. at 13–19. In particular, Galowski must submit a statement of proposed findings of facts
that lists, in separate, numbered paragraphs, all facts needed to sustain his motion and
admissible evidentiary materials that support the proposed facts.
I will deny his motion for summary judgment and give him an opportunity to file a new
motion with proposed findings of fact supported by evidence. Galowski may have until October

31, 2017, which is the deadline for dispositive motions. See Dkt. 62, at 6. I will direct the clerk
of court to send Galowski another copy of the court’s procedures on motions for summary
judgment, which detail the requirements that Galowski must follow.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff Allen P. Galowski’s motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 64, is DENIED
without prejudice.
2. Defendants’ motion to set briefing schedule, Dkt. 65, is DENIED without prejudice.
3. The clerk of court is directed to send plaintiff a copy of the court’s procedures on
motions for summary judgment included with the pretrial conference order.
Dkt. 24.
Entered October 18, 2017.
BY THE COURT:
