24 24 order Order on Stipulation of Dismissal Fri 12/20 11:40 AM
** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** The parties have stipulated to dismiss plaintiff's Wisconsin Consumer Act claims against defendants, leaving only his § 1983 claims against them. Dkt.23 . But a stipulation under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a) can be used only to dismiss the entire action; the appropriate vehicle here is an amended complaint under Rule 15(a). See Taylor v. Brown , 787 F. 3d 851, 857-58 (7th Cir. 2015). So I will construe the parties' stipulation as a motion to amend plaintiff's complaint with defendants' written consent under Rule 15(a)(2). I will accept the motion and deem those claims to be struck from plaintiff's operative complaint, Dkt.9 . Because defendants' pending motion to dismiss, Dkt.13 , is based on plaintiff's unaltered § 1983 claims, I will redirect that motion for the sake of efficiency toward plaintiff's complaint as amended by this order. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 12/20/2019. (jls)

10 10 order Text Only Order Tue 07/16 12:27 PM
** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint. Dkt.9 . So defendants' pending motion to dismiss, Dkt.6 , is directed to a no-longer-operative complaint, and under normal circumstances, an amended complaint moots any pending motion to dismiss. But in some cases, the court is able to redirect a pending motion toward a newly-operative complaint, in the interests of efficiency. By July 23, 2019, defendants should inform the court whether the court should: 1. redirect their pending motion to dismiss toward the amended complaint, or 2. deny it as moot, allowing defendants to file a new motion. After receiving defendants' input, the court will determine how best to proceed. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 7/16/2019. (jls)
