Civil Procedure
Entry of judgment
This case has its genesis in an action Stephanie M. Przytarski, p/k/a Stephanie M. Kramschuster, brought against Marc J. Ackerman, Ph.D., in connection with her retention of Ackerman for a then-pending paternity action. Przytarski sued Ackerman, claiming that he breached the contract of retention. The circuit court dismissed Przytarski’s suit. Subsequently, the circuit court (a different judge presiding as the result of judicial rotation), found that Przytarski’s suit against Ackerman was frivolous. Although Przytarski did not timely appeal the circuit court’s dismissal of her action against Ackerman, she did timely appeal the judgment entered on the circuit court’s finding that Przytarski’s action against Ackerman was frivolous. We reversed the judgment that directed Przytarski to pay Ackerman frivolous-action costs. See Kramschuster v. Ackerman, No. 2009AP1002, unpublished slip op. ¶18 (WI App Jan. 26, 2010). This opinion will not be published.
