Eviction – Motion to Reopen

2015AP509 Wright Weber Management, LLC v. Ryan P. Walker

Ryan P. and Bobbie S. Walker, husband and wife, appeal the circuit court’s denial of their motion to reopen and vacate a judgment of eviction entered against them following a court trial. The Walkers assert that the circuit court erred in denying, without a hearing, their motion to reopen and vacate the judgment. They contend the court should have afforded them a hearing on their motion because if the allegations contained in the motion and supporting documents are true, the judgment was procured by fraud and was void, pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 806.07(1)(c) and (d) respectively. They alternatively assert that it should be reopened and vacated because relief from operation of the judgment is otherwise justified, based upon § 806.07(1)(h). For the following reasons, we affirm.
