WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Thomas Woznicki v. Jeff Moberg, et al

Case No.: 2015AP1883

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Request for Injunction

Thomas Woznicki appeals an order denying his request for an injunction prohibiting his former employer—the New Richmond School District (District)—from releasing his District personnel file under Wisconsin’s open records law, WIS. STAT. §§ 19.31–39. We conclude that any public interest in nondisclosure of Woznicki’s personnel file is outweighed by the strong and presumptive public interest in public access to, and disclosure of, his personnel file. Therefore, we affirm the circuit court’s order.
