WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: Daniel J. Vidmar v. Milwaukee City Board of Fire Police Commissioners
Case No.: 2015AP1832
Officials: Curley, P.J., Kessler and Brash, JJ.
Focus: Court Error – Incorrect Theory of Law
Daniel J. Vidmar appeals an order affirming the decision of the Milwaukee City Board of Fire and Police Commissioners (Board) to permanently discharge him from his employment as a police officer with the Milwaukee Police Department (Department). Vidmar makes the following arguments on appeal: (1) the Board proceeded on an incorrect theory of law; (2) the circuit court wrongly concluded that deference was owed to the Board’s findings of fact and credibility determinations; and (3) the circuit court erred by applying an incorrect standard of review. We disagree and affirm.
