Federal Court Practice in the Western District of Wisconsin
Roger L Imes of La Crosse, WI practices within the geographic jurisdiction of the Western District of Wisconsin (WDWI), the United States district court that hears civil and criminal matters arising from Madison, WI and the surrounding territory comprising the WDWI.
The principal courthouse for the WDWI is located at 120 North Henry Street, Madison, WI 53703 (official court website). Filings in this district are subject to the district's local civil and criminal rules in addition to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
Roger L Imes's social security practice in the WDWI typically involves matters governed by the district's social security caseload, including pretrial motion practice, discovery scheduling under the district's standing orders, and trial proceedings before an Article III district judge or a magistrate judge by consent of the parties under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
Appellate Path: Seventh Circuit
Adverse rulings from federal trial courts in Wisconsin are reviewable on direct appeal by the Seventh Circuit, sitting in Chicago, IL. Roger L Imes's federal practice may include direct merits appeals under Fed. R. App. P. 4, petitions for panel rehearing or rehearing en banc under Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, and — in qualifying matters — petitions for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States under Sup. Ct. R. 10.
Federal appellate practice differs materially from state-court appellate practice: briefing length, standards of review (de novo, clear error, abuse of discretion, plain error), and oral-argument allotments are governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the Seventh Circuit's local circuit rules. Social Security appeals from the WDWI are docketed at the Seventh Circuit and decided either after oral argument or on the briefs depending on the panel's screening determination.
What Social Security Practice Looks Like in Wisconsin
A social security matter in WDWI typically begins with a complaint, indictment, or petition that triggers strict deadlines under the applicable federal rules. Roger L Imes guides clients through each procedural milestone — initial disclosures, scheduling conferences, dispositive motions, discovery cutoffs, and pretrial conference orders — that distinguish WDWI practice from analogous state-court litigation in Wisconsin.
