Franzen

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin screened Daniel R. Franzen’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint concerning alleged inadequate treatment of a brain tumor and related symptoms while he was incarcerated. The court permitted Eighth Amendment deliberate-indifference claims to proceed against Melissa Wendt-Trochinski, Kelly Pelky, Angel Hoffman, and Morgan Malchow. The court denied the motion to proceed in forma pauperis as moot because the filing fee had been paid and denied the motion to appoint counsel without prejudice.
