Civil Procedure — amended complaints — relation back doctrine
Patrick Finnegan, pro se, appeals from an order granting the motion to dismiss filed by Joe Parisi and Scott McDonnell (collectively, Parisi). Finnegan argues that: (1) the circuit court erred in granting Parisi’s motion to dismiss because Finnegan’s failure to name the proper party, Dane County, was a mistake that did not prejudice Dane County; and (2) the circuit court erred in denying his motion to amend his summons and complaint a second time because the second amended complaint was timely under the relation back doctrine. I conclude that the circuit court did not err in granting Parisi’s motion to dismiss and in denying Finnegan’s motion to amend, and, therefore, I affirm. This opinion will not be published.
