Case of investigator suing City of Superior moving forward

SUPERIROR, Wis. – An agreement had been made between the City of Superior and the Investigator suing the city to keep some parts of evidence in the lawsuit confidential.

That agreement was filed on October 2, 2025.

Superior Police Department Investigator Mikayla LeRette is suing the City of Superior and some city of Superior employees in Federal Court.

A lot of the complaint centers around actions during and after LeRette’s pregnancies.

Most of the the remainder of the complaint focuses on the tracking of LeRette’s vehicle and her schedule.

Both sides agreed in court filings to keep “training, personnel, and disciplinary file” plus “security numbers, home addresses, names of minor children, full dates of birth, financial account numbers, passwords, medical and psychological records” confidential in the court proceedings.

Also to be kept confidential are, “safety and security processes and procedures of the City of Superior and the City of Superior Police Department and/or Police Station.”

Anyone that wants to keep information private must ask for the information to be private or confidential.

The court filing did say there are methods to make some of the information public.  The filing reads, “Any party or interested member of the public may apply to the Court for an order modifying this Protective Order, removing the “Confidential” designation from any confidential materials, or extracts or portions thereof, or reclassifying confidential materials.”

There are still many more deadlines for filings in the case.

Recent court filings slate the trial to begin September 28, 2026.

If if does make it to trial, it is expected to run four days and will be heard before a jury of eight people.

Mikayla LeRette is the wife of Superior Police Chief Paul Winterscheidt.
