Collins, Dontae v. Mahoney, David et al

Filing 24

ORDER that plaintiff Dontae Collins may have until August 20, 2018, to file a response to defendants' motion for summary judgment. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 8/6/2018. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
DONTAE COLLINS
Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.
Case No. 18-cv-23-wmc
DAVID MAHONEY AND
DANE COUNTY,
Defendants.

Pro se plaintiff Dontae Collins is proceeding on Eighth Amendment claims against
defendants related to the conditions of his confinement at the Dane County Jail. On June
22, 2018, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on exhaustion grounds, and
the court set July 16, 2018, as plaintiff’s deadline to oppose defendant’s motion. Plaintiff
has failed to oppose the motion, nor has he sought an extension or otherwise provided the
court with an indication that he plans to oppose the motion. Plaintiff’s failure to respond
to defendants’ motion suggests that he may have lost interest in pursuing this case and no
longer intends to prosecute it.
Plaintiff will receive one more opportunity to submit a substantive response to
defendants’ motion. If he fails to do so by the new deadline, the court will dismiss this
case with prejudice under Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for his failure to
prosecute.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Dontae Collins may have until August 20, 2018,
to file a response to defendants’ motion for summary judgment. If plaintiff does not

respond by that date, the court will dismiss this case with prejudice under Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute it.
Entered this 6th day of August, 2018.
BY THE COURT:
