IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

THOMAS J. KURUC,
Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
JOHN LITSCHER, RANDALL HEPP,
CRIS KRUEGER, JOHN MAGGIONCALDA,
GREG PHAL, CANDICE WHITMAN, DR. LARSEN,
and JOHN DOE 1–10,

17-cv-946-jdp

Defendants.
Plaintiff Thomas J. Kuruc is a former inmate at Fox Lake Correctional Institution who
was one of numerous inmates to bring lawsuits about the water quality at that prison. Counsel
has withdrawn from their representation and each plaintiff is proceeding individually on
medical care claims.
The court’s most recent order was returned as undeliverable; Kuruc has been released
from prison and he has not provided the court with a new mailing address. The clerk of court
has contacted Kuruc’s probation agent, who states that Kuruc has moved from his last known
address and has not contacted the agent or updated his address.
It is Kuruc’s obligation to notify the court of his address so that the court and
defendants can contact him. Because Kuruc has failed to update his address and the clerk of
court has not been able to obtain his address, I will dismiss the case for Kuruc’s failure to
prosecute it.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that:
1. This case is DISMISSED for plaintiff Thomas J. Kuruc’s failure to prosecute it.
2. The clerk of court is directed to enter judgment for defendants and close the case.
Entered July 15, 2021.
