Mitchell, Roy v. Wasserberg, Sara et al

Filing 101

SCHEDULING ORDER. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 11/27/2018. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
ROY MITCHELL,
Plaintiff,

OPINION & ORDER

v.
Case No. 16-cv-593-wmc
SARA WASSERBERG, et al.
Defendants.

Plaintiff Roy Mitchell, a transgender woman, is proceeding in this lawsuit on First,
Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment claims against defendants Sara Wasserberg and Tina
Gensler arising out of their alleged failure to consider her transgender identity in assigning
her housing post-incarceration. On October 22, 2018, the court struck the November 2,
2018, dispositive motion deadline in this lawsuit because the parties were scheduled to
mediate in Mitchell’s other lawsuit pending before this court, Mitchell v. Kallas, Case No.
15-cv-108-wmc, and the results of that mediation may have resolved this lawsuit as well.
(Dkt. ##91, 92.) However, the court declined to strike any other deadlines in an effort
to keep this case on track for its May 20, 2019, trial date.
Now Mitchell has written to the court, explaining that the mediation did not resolve
her claims in this lawsuit and seeking to re-set the dispositive motion deadline. (Dkt. #99.)
The court will grant this request, and to provide the parties and court additional time to
account for the delayed dispositive motion deadline, extend the pretrial deadlines as well.
The pretrial schedule is adjusted as follows:
Dispositive motion deadline:

January 11, 2019
1

Discovery cutoff:

April 19, 2019

Final Pretrial Submissions
and Disclosures:

April 26, 2019

Responses:

May 10, 2019

Final Pretrial Conference:

May 13, 2019, at 4:00 p.m.

Trial:

May 20, 2019, at 9:00 a.m.

SO ORDERED.
Entered this 27th day of November, 2018.
BY THE COURT:
