Civil Procedure
Failure to comply with scheduling order; sanctions
Allen Johnson, pro se, appeals a circuit court order granting judgment in favor of Milwaukee Pain Treatment Services, S.C. (Milwaukee Pain). The circuit court found that Johnson’s failure to comply with a scheduling order and his failure to appear at a pre-trial conference constituted egregious conduct and determined that Johnson’s acts warranted substantial sanctions. Because we conclude that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion in entering a judgment against Johnson, we affirm. We also conclude that Johnson’s appeal is frivolous and grant Milwaukee Pain’s motion for costs, fees and attorney’s fees. This opinion will not be published.
