WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: Howard C. Nelson et al v. Nancy Furrer, et al
Case No.: 2016AP38
Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J., Sherman and Blanchard, JJ
Focus: Sale Proceeds – Satisfaction of Judgment
Steven O’Connor appeals the circuit court’s decision and order directing the distribution of the proceeds of a sale of real property, and the court’s subsequent order denying his motion for reconsideration. In its first decision and order, the circuit court ordered that those proceeds be distributed to plaintiffs Hyrad Corporation and Howard Nelson to satisfy a 2010 judgment requiring Hyrad to pay attorney’s fees and costs to Boardman Law Firm, which successfully represented Hyrad and Nelson in this shareholder derivative action. O’Connor contends that those proceeds should instead be distributed to him to satisfy a 2012 judgment that he obtained in a separate action. The 2012 judgment ordered Hyrad to pay attorney’s fees to O’Connor, who represented the defendants in this shareholder derivative action. For the reasons stated, we affirm.
