Schneider v. McCullen et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin denied Paul M. Schneider’s motion for reconsideration of the screening order in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The court also denied without prejudice his motion to extend case deadlines, finding it premature while discovery remained ongoing. The action continues against certain defendants on Eighth Amendment deliberate indifference and First Amendment retaliation claims.

Holdings

1. Reconsideration was unwarranted because Plaintiff identified no manifest error in the court's decision to dismiss Johnson and Warden Wells.
2. The motion for an extension of time was denied without prejudice as premature.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court should reconsider its interlocutory screening order and reinstate Jordan Johnson and Warden Jason Wells as defendants.
2. Whether the court should extend the discovery and dispositive-motion deadlines by three to six months.
