WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Troy Paulson v. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

Case No.: 2018AP696

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Time-barred

Troy Paulson, pro se, appeals an order dismissing his lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). We conclude Paulson’s lawsuit was properly dismissed because he did not timely seek judicial review of the DNR’s decision denying him a permit to discharge fill material onto a wetland under WIS. STAT. ch. 227 (2015-16). As a result, the circuit court lacked competency to proceed to judgment on Paulson’s complaint. We therefore affirm the order dismissing Paulson’s lawsuit, albeit on different grounds than those relied upon by the circuit court.
