Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Civil Procedure — claim preclusion — attorney fees
R. Scot Deering, pro se, appeals an order dismissing his lawsuit against William and Barbara Wangerin, and directing him to pay $4,156.50 toward the Wangerins’ attorney fees as a sanction under Wis. Stat. § 802.05 (2009-10). Deering intimates that the circuit court erred by dismissing his original complaint as barred under the doctrine of claim preclusion. Deering also appears to challenge the circuit court’s decision to strike the first and second amended complaints, dismiss the action, and impose a sanction. Finally, Deering claims the circuit court judge should have recused himself. We reject these arguments and affirm the order. This opinion will not be published.
