You are hereby notified that the Court has entered the following order:
-----------
2015AP415 State of Wisconsin ex rel. James Freer v. Circuit Court Dodge County and the Honorable Steven G. Bauer, presiding

Before Kloppenburg, J.

By order dated May 27, 2015, this court issued an order that construed a notice of appeal filed by James Freer as a petition for a supervisory writ seeking review of the denial of a fee waiver, and directed Freer to file a memorandum in support of the petition.

Instead of filing a memorandum, Freer has filed an objection to the conversion of this matter to a writ proceeding—which he characterizes as a "deceptive practice." Freer goes on to state that since this court has, in his view, acted in "bad faith," Freer will "decline review" to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and will instead seek relief in the federal courts.

Freer does not appear to understand this court's prior order or the current posture of this case, and may be operating under the mistaken belief that this court has denied him the relief he is seeking. However, whether a case is categorized as a writ or an appeal is a procedural question relating to the method of this court's review, not a substantive determination of the merits of Freer's claims. It is standard practice to construe all notices of appeal in which relief is being sought from an order refusing to allow a litigant to proceed without the payment of a filing fee as writ petitions, because a supervisor writ is the proper mechanism for providing relief from an order entered by the circuit courts before it accepted a complaint for filing.

In other words, this court has not yet come to any conclusion about whether the circuit court should have granted a fee waiver and allowed Freer to proceed on his action merely by converting the appeal to a writ proceeding. Rather, the purpose of having Freer file a memorandum on the merits—which is the equivalent of a brief on an appeal—is to assist this court in making that determination. We reiterate that if Freer does not file a memorandum, we will have no basis to conclude that the circuit court erred, and will issue a summary dismissal of this appellate proceeding.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the time for Freer to file a memorandum explaining why he believes the circuit court erred in refusing to allow him to proceed on his action without the payment of a filing fee is extended to June 24, 2015.
