OCTOBER 2026 — NEW FEDERAL ADA/§1983 + HABEAS FILINGS • PERMANENT DEAFNESS CONFIRMED • VIDEO EVIDENCE OF NO CART
They Forced a Permanently Deaf Man Through Hearings and Trial Without ADA Compliance
Scotty Lee Van Hawk is permanently deaf (SSA Listing 2.10, MINE 7 designation). Onset tied to the March 28–29, 2021 SWAT raid that used concussion grenades.
SSA Disability Determination (Jan 2026): Meets Listing 2.10A/B — severe/profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, Word Recognition Scores 10% left / 0% right, unable to tolerate speech at 95 dB. Cochlear implants referred but not done. Medical Improvement Not Expected.
Despite this documented disability, Kosciusko Circuit Court (Judge Michael W. Reed) repeatedly conducted proceedings without CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation) or any effective communication accommodation.
- October 15, 2026 PCR hearing (Cause 43C01-2501-PC-000003): No notice, no service of PCR documents, no CART. Plaintiff tendered a written statement. Judge Reed refused to acknowledge it and screamed over him. Witnesses observed. Orders then denied change of judge, summarily denied the PCR, and directed the Clerk to accept no further filings without leave.
- Prior hearings and the October 2024 jury trial proceeded under the same pattern — amplification or other inadequate measures instead of required effective communication under Title II of the ADA.
- The Court of Appeals of Indiana (Feb 6, 2026 opinion in 24A-CR-3161) affirmed the conviction while the record shows the county forced a permanently deaf man through the entire process without proper ADA compliance.
This is ongoing. New federal cases filed October 17–19, 2026 address it directly.

Active Federal Filings — Northern District of Indiana (October 17–19, 2026)
Cover letter to the Clerk: Filing new Civil Action (ADA / 42 U.S.C. § 1983) and Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (28 U.S.C. § 2254). Plaintiff is homeless with no mailing address. All notices and orders must go solely to scottyvanhawk@gmail.com.
Civil Action (ADA Title II + § 1983)
- Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief and Damages against Kosciusko County, Kosciusko Circuit Court, Judge Michael W. Reed (official capacity), Judge Matthew J. Buehler (official capacity), Kosciusko County Clerk, and Kosciusko County Prosecutor.
- Factual allegations: Oct 15, 2026 hearing forced without notice/service/CART; written statement ignored; screaming; orders denying PCR and imposing filing bar; Clerk implemented the bar; conflict involving transfer of 2901/2906 E. Armstrong Road (Mosquabuck Potawatomi Reserve Trust) with Jack Birch while Birch was in private practice into the name of a deceased person.
- Claims: Title II ADA (failure to provide effective communication / meaningful access); § 1983 (denial of access to courts and due process).
- Motion for Preliminary Injunction: Require CART at all future proceedings, require Clerk to accept all filings, produce Oct 15 recordings at public expense, stay probation-violation proceedings until the claims are resolved.
- Motion for Appointment of Counsel; Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis + AO 240.
Habeas Corpus (28 U.S.C. § 2254)
- Challenging the October 10, 2024 conviction (three Level 5 felony stalking counts, Cause 43C01-2303-F5-000214, nine-year aggregate sentence).
- Grounds: Due process and access to courts violated by the no-notice, no-CART Oct 15 PCR hearing and resulting void orders; ADA Title II violation rendered proceedings fundamentally unfair; Judge Reed disqualified by actual conflict (real-estate transfer with Jack Birch).
- Request for stay of probation-violation proceedings under § 2251; writ, vacatur or new trial, appointment of counsel.
These are the active federal cases. Prior dismissed cases are not the focus.
