Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: City of Madison v. Family Business LLC et al
Case No.: 2012AP2179
Officials: Brennan, P.J., Brash and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Forfeiture
This case comes before us on remand from the supreme court. The supreme court issued an order granting, in part, the petition for review in the case of City of Madison v. Family Business LLC, No. 2012AP2179, unpublished slip op. (WI App Sept. 16. 2014). The petition for review was granted solely to allow for “further consideration of whether the $5[]000.00 forfeiture is a proper remedial sanction for Roderick Flowers’ contempt.” See City of Madison v. Family Bus. LLC, No. 2012AP2179, unpublished order (WI July 1, 2015), cert. denied, 136 S. Ct. 1181 (2016). The supreme court vacated our decision with respect to that issue. Upon reconsideration, our conclusion remains the same: The circuit court acted properly in finding Flowers in remedial contempt and in imposing the forfeiture as a sanction for the contempt.
