WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: David Olson, et al., v. Olson’s Woodville Meats, Inc. et al.

Case No.: 2017AP733

Officials: HRUZ, J.

Focus: Release From Remedial Contempt Order

Adrian Dykstra, Dykstra Management Services, LLC, and Dykstra Leasing Services Company, LLC, (collectively, “Dykstra”) appeal an order holding Dykstra in remedial contempt of court. David Olson and Olson’s Woodville Meats, Inc., (Woodville) have not filed a response brief. We conclude Woodville has conceded Dykstra is entitled to relief from the remedial contempt order by it not responding to—and thereby failing to refute—one of Dykstra’s arguments that the remedial sanctions have been satisfied. By virtue of this concession, we conclude that this appeal is moot and that there is no need to address Dykstra’s additional arguments. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal, but we remand the matter with directions that the circuit court order that the remedial sanctions have been satisfied in full and, as a result, that Dykstra is released from the remedial contempt order.
