Boyd, Vincent v. Heil, Chris et al

Filing 25

ORDER denying in part and reserving in part plaintiff's 24 Motion for Leave to Contact Mother as a Witness. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 7/17/2019. (nln),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
VINCENT E. BOYD,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER
17-cv-209-wmc

CHRIS HEIL, TANIA REINDL, BRIAN
FOSTER, MICHAEL BAENEN, LT.
SWIEKATOWSKI, LT. VANLANEN,
LT. VANDEWALLE, and WARDEN
ECKSTEIN,
Defendants.
The court is in receipt of plaintiff Vincent E. Boyd’s “motion for leave to contact
mother as a witness.” (Dkt. #24.) By its caption, the motion appears intended to allow
plaintiff to contact his motion for discovery purposes. If that is all that is intended, the
motion is DENIED in part and RESERVED in part as follows. Plaintiff’s request to contact
his mother directly in violation of any existing order by DOC or other court is denied
pending his providing a copy of all such existing orders. Plaintiff should also file with the
court the specific, written discovery requests he has in the form of interrogatories and
document requests, along with any contact information for his mother.
To the extent that plaintiff requests a preliminary injunction, removing the prison’s
“no contact” order for other purposes, he will need to bring a separate, formal motion to
that effect, following the court’s procedures to be filed on motions for injunctive relief,
which specifically requires filing of proposed findings of facts, as set forth in the attached
materials.
Entered this 17th day of July, 2019.

BY THE COURT:
