FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
BRIAN F. DRYS, JR.,
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
17-cv-776-wmc
JAMES THORPE,
Defendant.
Pro se plaintiff Brian F. Drys, Jr., who is currently incarcerated at Redgranite Correctional
Institution, is proceeding in this lawsuit on an Eighth Amendment deliberate indifference claim against
defendant James Thorpe, for his alleged failure to treat a severe tooth infection properly in 2014. On
February 21, 2020, defendant Thorpe filed a motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. #32.) The court set
March 23, 2020, as Drys’s opposition deadline. However, that deadline has passed, and Drys has neither
filed an opposition nor sought an extension of time to oppose Thorpe’s motion. The court will give Drys
one more opportunity to respond to Thorpe’s motion: he now has until April 21, 2020, to file an opposition
to Thorpe’s motion for summary judgment. If he fails to respond by that deadline, the court will dismiss
this lawsuit with prejudice for Drys’s failure to prosecute, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(b).
ORDER
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Brian Drys may have until April 21, 2020, to file a
response to defendant Thorpe’s motion for summary judgment. If Drys does not file a response by that
deadline, the court will dismiss this lawsuit with prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute.
Dated this 31st day of March, 2020.
BY THE COURT:
