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

XZAVIOR GOODWIN,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

JORDAN THOME-HOUGH
and MARIA GAMBARO,

20-cv-229-jdp

Defendants.
Pro se plaintiff Xzavior Goodwin contends that defendant prison officials violated his
constitutional rights by ignoring his warnings that he had suicidal thoughts and that he was
cutting himself. Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 16, to which Goodwin
has not responded. His failure to respond suggests that he may have lost interest in pursuing
his case and no longer intends to prosecute it.
I will give Goodwin one more opportunity to submit substantive responses to
defendants’ motion for summary judgment. If he fails to do so by the new deadline, I will
dismiss this case with prejudice under Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for his
failure to prosecute it.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Xzavior Goodwin may have until July 29, 2021, to file
a response to defendants’ motion for summary judgment. If Goodwin does not respond by that
date, I will dismiss this case with prejudice under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41 for his failure to prosecute
it.
