O'Malley v. Carr et al Doc. 21 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN ROBERT C. O’MALLEY, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 22-C-268 KEVIN A. CARR, et al., Defendants. DECISION AND ORDER Plaintiff Robert C. O’Malley, who is a Wisconsin state prisoner confined at Green Bay Correctional Institution, filed this 42 U.S.C. §1983 action pro se. At the Court’s request, Attorney Victor Plantinga volunteered to represent O’Malley for the limited purpose of preparing an amended complaint and conducting discovery. The Court thanks him for his service. O’Malley recently informed the Court that he is recovering from heart surgery, so to allow sufficient time for counsel to confer with his client, the Court will require that an amended complaint be filed by September 2, 2022. If counsel believes he needs more time to prepare the amended complaint, he may file a motion explaining why he needs more time and stating how much more time he believes he needs. The Prison Litigation Reform Act applies to this case, so the Court will screen the amended complaint to identify cognizable claims before it is served on the defendants. See 28 U.S.C. §1915A. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that O’Malley must file an amended complaint by September 2, 2022. Dated at Green Bay, Wisconsin this 5th day of July, 2022. s/ William C. Griesbach William C.
