Remedies — domestic abuse injunctions

Korry Ardell appeals the circuit court’s order upholding a domestic abuse injunction that Nicole Thomas initially obtained against him before a court commissioner. Ardell argues that: (1) the court commissioner’s initial injunction decision was based on insufficient evidence; (2) the circuit court “erroneously found that the commissioner found Thomas more credible than Ardell”; (3) the court erred by refusing to consider Thomas’s failure to respond to Ardell’s requests for admissions; (4) the court erred in refusing to admit Thomas’s personal phone records; (5) the court misunderstood the time line of pertinent events; and (6) the court improperly relied on a public records request made by Ardell as a basis for the injunction. We reject these arguments and affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
