WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: HSBC Bank USA v. Steven R. Lisse, et al.
Case No.: 2015AP273
Officials: Lundsten, Higginbotham and Sherman, JJ.
Focus: Foreclosure – Court Error
Steven and Sondra Lisse appeal a summary judgment order that granted foreclosure to HSBC Bank USA. The Lisses contend that the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion by denying the Lisses’ motion to extend the time to conduct discovery. They then contend that HSBC was not entitled to summary judgment. They also contend that the court erred by denying their motion for reconsideration. For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that the circuit court properly exercised its discretion as to discovery deadlines, that HSBC was entitled to summary judgment, and that the court properly denied reconsideration. We affirm.
