Court Error – Summary Judgment

2015AP285 Randy J. Keefe v. Antoinette P. Schaffrath

Randy Keefe appeals the circuit court’s order dismissing his tort claim for malicious prosecution against his now-ex-wife, Antoinette Schaffrath, and a man Schaffrath knew named Duane McClyman. Keefe, who is pro se, argues that the circuit court erred in granting summary judgment in several respects. Broadly speaking, Keefe’s brief presents a single issue: whether summary judgment against Keefe was improper because there exists a genuine issue of material fact relating to probable cause for the underlying prosecution. Because Keefe fails to point to evidence showing such a dispute, we affirm.

Affirmed. Per Curiam
