Civil Procedure
Tribal jurisdiction
John Kroner appeals an order transferring his civil suit to the Oneida Tribal Judicial System pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 801.54,[1] titled, discretionary transfer of civil actions to tribal court. Kroner argues the circuit court erred because the record did not support its determination that the tribal court had concurrent jurisdiction. Kroner further contends the court failed to properly consider the statutory discretion factors. We conclude the record supports the circuit court’s exercise of discretion, and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
