No. 96-3633.

175 F.3d 497 (1999)

Keith D. SCHACHT, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided April 16, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David E. Lasker, Madison, WI, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Richard Briles Moriarty, Wisconsin Department of Justice, Madison, WI, for Defendants-Appellees.

Before BAUER, CUDAHY, and DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judges.


DIANE P. WOOD, Circuit Judge.

With this opinion, we hope to write the final stanzas of the epic.
