February 24, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** Plaintiff Brandon L. McKeel is incarcerated at the New Lisbon Correctional Institution and has filed a complaint and motion for emergency injunctive relief. Dkt. #1 and Dkt. #3 . McKeel alleges that he has severe back problems after spinal fusion surgery, including nerve pain, muscle spasms, and the inability to sit for more than 30 minutes. McKeel also alleges that he will be extradited to Florida by van on March 12, 2023, and that he will not be able to sit for hours at a time over two weeks as the trip will demand. McKeel adds that Department of Corrections officials have disregarded his requests for physical therapy, steroid injections, and other medical treatment for months. Given the urgent nature of McKeel's allegations, the court won't have the parties brief his emergency motion under its formal procedures for such motions. Instead, the court will give the Wisconsin Attorney General a short time to respond to McKeel's allegations and explain what is being done to address them. Although the Attorney General's response need not fully comply with the court's usual requirements for opposing a motion for preliminary injunction, the Attorney General must support the response with affidavits from the responsible authorities and any other evidence necessary to resolve the emergency motion. If necessary, the court will hold a telephonic or video hearing after the Attorney General responds. It is ORDERED that: (1) the clerk of court is directed to immediately transmit a copy of this order to the Office of the Attorney General; and (2) the Attorney General has until March 3, 2023, to file a response in accordance with this order. The clerk of court is also directed to send a copy of this order to plaintiff. Signed by Magistrate Judge Stephen L. Crocker on 2/24/2023. (jef),(ps)
