Torts — res ipsa loquitur — negligence per se — nuisance
Brian E. Davis, pro se, appeals from a judgment of the circuit court dismissing Davis’s claims against the City of Milwaukee (the City) and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD) after both defendants moved for a directed verdict during a jury trial. Davis brought an action against the City and MMSD (collectively, the defendants) after multiple raw sewage floods occurred in the basement of a rental property he owned. Because Davis never produced any evidence of what the defendants did that caused the basement floods, we conclude that a directed verdict in favor of the defendants was proper. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
