01-1968 Otto v. Milwaukee County

By: dmc-admin//May 28, 2002//

Listen to this article

Thomas J. Otto appeals from an order dismissing his complaint against Milwaukee County, which alleged violations of Wis. Stat. sec. 109.01(3) (1999-2000), breach of contract, and promissory estoppel. Otto claims: (1) the law of the case doctrine precluded a subsequent trial court from dismissing his claims because the first trial court denied earlier dispositive motions; (2) dismissal of his Wis. Stat. ch. 109 claim was erroneous; (3) the trial court erred when it dismissed his breach of contract claim based on insufficient pleadings; (4) the trial court erred when it granted Milwaukee County summary judgment dismissing his promissory estoppel claim; and (5) the trial court erred when it made damage determinations.

Because we resolve each issue in favor of upholding the judgment, we affirm.

This opinion will not be published.
