IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JEFFREY M. DAVIS, JR.,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 16-cv-689-wmc
KIM CARL, TIMONTHY JORDAN,
STEVEN DITTMAN, KEVIN PITZEN,
OFFICER SCHULZE, SERGEANT
WILLETT, DANIEL NORGE, PSY. D.,
LUCAS WEBER, LINDSAY WALKER, S.
FRY, XIONG, ANDERSON and MICHAEL
DITTMANN,
Defendants.

Pro se plaintiff Jeffrey M. Davis, Jr. is proceeding against the defendants on claims under
the Eighth Amendment and state law. The court is in receipt of a letter from Davis, in which
he requests either a conference call so that the court can order the parties to engage in
settlement or mediation, or, in the alternative, dismissal of this lawsuit without prejudice. (Dkt.
#31.) Defendants have responded that mediation would not be productive at this time and do
not oppose dismissal of the case without prejudice. The court will not grant plaintiff’s request
related to a mediation or settlement. Indeed, even if defendants expressed a willingness to
engage in settlement discussions or mediation, this court does not generally order parties to
either mediate or discuss settlement. However, as the parties are in agreement that dismissal
without prejudice is appropriate,

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2), this matter is DISMISSED
without prejudice.
Entered this 17th day of January, 2018.
