Civil Procedure – appeal — incomprehensible briefs

In a 39-page brief, Donald Minniecheske, pro se, accuses a circuit court judge, Village of Tigerton and Shawano County officials, various attorneys, the Department of Natural Resources, and surveyors Robert and Michael Nordin of various criminal acts, including fraud, racketeering, perjury, and theft, in what amounts to an alleged two-decade conspiracy to deprive him of land.

We conclude Minniecheske has not presented any valid arguments for relief from any of the challenged judgments and orders. Minniecheske’s brief is incomprehensible, with facts, argument, and opinion scattered in no apparent order. The basis for his appeals is unclear, as his primary concern appears to be events that occurred over twenty years ago. His arguments are undeveloped themes reflecting no legitimate legal reasoning. On the whole, we conclude whatever issues Minniecheske wished to raise regarding the orders and judgments subject to this appeal have been inadequately briefed, and we therefore need not address them. This opinion will not be published.
