Sowle
BENTON – Senior U.S. District Judge Phil Gilbert appointed attorney Britt Sowle of Edwardsville to find out whether prisoner Robert Christopher Adams might have a viable injury claim against DuPont.
Sowle, who entered his appearance on Jan. 14, must first achieve service of a suit Adams wanted to serve on DuPont but couldn’t.
Sowle must also obtain an information sheet Adams requested.
“All this should be accomplished by February 19, 2021,” Gilbert wrote.
Adams signed a complaint at Western Illinois prison in Mount Sterling in June and mailed it to district court.
He sought $75 million in compensatory and punitive damages and all medical expenses for colitis.
