Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Family — protective placement — guardianship
This appeal arises from two related cases which we have consolidated for purposes of disposition. In appeal no. 2009AP2450, Margaret B. appeals an order of the circuit court removing her, on Milwaukee County’s petition, as guardian for her disabled adult son, Aaron B., after finding that Margaret failed to act in her ward’s best interest. Adversary counsel has filed an amicus brief on Aaron’s behalf seeking Margaret’s reinstatement as guardian. Aaron’s guardian ad litem (GAL) has filed a brief requesting that the circuit court order be affirmed. In appeal no. 2010AP1588, Margaret appeals the order denying her petitions to remove the successor guardian and to reinstate her. These decisions lie within the circuit court’s discretion and, here, the court’s exercise of discretion was unassailable. We affirm the orders. This opinion will not be published.
