IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ALLEN PAYETTE, MEMORANDUM Plaintiff, 07-cv-242-bbc v. BOB DICKMAN; and SETH WISKOW, Defendants. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Following a trial on plaintiff Allen Payette's claim that defendants Bob Dickman and Seth Wiskow were deliberately indifferent to his mental health needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment, the jury returned a verdict in favor of defendants. Plaintiff, who was represented by Adam Walsh, has independently filed two motions for a new trial as well as a motion for transcripts. Walsh has filed a motion to withdraw from his representation of plaintiff. Before granting the motion, I will need to know whether plaintiff has any objection to it and if so, the grounds for his objections. Therefore, I will reserve a ruling on the motion to withdraw until plaintiff has had an opportunity to advise the court of his position on the

motion. If plaintiff does not respond to this opportunity to be heard by September 14, 2009, I will assume he has no objection. In that event, the motion will be granted. Entered this 4th day of September, 2009. BY THE COURT: /s/ BARBARA B. CRABB District Judge
