Family – guardianship — contempt

James Grenisen appeals an order of the circuit court that found Grenisen in contempt for intentionally disobeying a court order to pay $3,440 to the estate of LaVonne M.E. As a remedial sanction, the contempt order required that Grenisen pay the proceeds to LaVonne’s estate within ten days or face a $100 per day sanction thereafter until he paid. Grenisen appeals the contempt order. La Crosse County Human Services Department (the County) responds and moves for costs, fees, and attorney’s fees for a frivolous appeal. I affirm the circuit court, and remand with directions for a determination of costs, fees, and attorney’s fees for a frivolous appeal. This opinion will not be published.

2011AP1575 In re the finding of contempt: In the matter of the guardianship and protective placement of Lavonne M. E.

Dist IV, La Crosse County, Levine, J., Lundsten, P.J.

Attorneys: For Appellant: Grenisen, James P., La Crosse; For Respondent: Lange, David L., La Crosse
