WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Jana L. Tetzlaff v. County of Green Lake et al
Case No.: 2015AP1120-AC
Officials: Neubauer, C.J., Reilly, P.J., and Gundrum, J
Focus: Injunctive Relief
In this Public Records Law case, Jana Tetzlaff brought an action under WIS. STAT. § 19.356 (2013-14) to enjoin Green Lake County from disclosing to County Supervisor Joy Waterbury an investigative report in which Tetzlaff was named. The circuit court dismissed the action, concluding that no statutory or common-law exceptions barred the report’s release and that the presumption of public access, see WIS. STAT. § 19.31, outweighed any public interest in nondisclosure. We affirm the order.
