Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Civil Procedure — default judgment — relief from judgment
Radio Multi Media, Inc., appeals the judgment awarding damages in favor of plaintiffs Courier Communications Corporation, Earnestine Jones, Jerrel Jones, and Mary Ellen Strong.[1] Radio Multi Media argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion by entering default judgment in favor of Courier and dismissing Radio Multi Media’s counterclaims when the company failed to appear at a pretrial hearing. Additionally, it argues that the trial court erroneously exercised its discretion in denying its motion for relief from default judgment. We conclude that the trial court properly exercised its discretion with respect to both decisions, and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
