WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: Ida Hautop v. County of Bayfield, et al.
Case No.: 2017AP1181
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Foreclosure – Claim Preclusion
Ida Hautop appeals a summary judgment granted in favor of the County of Bayfield, RM Bay Logging Inc., and the Department of Natural Resources (collectively “the County”). We conclude Hautop’s suit is barred by the doctrine of claim preclusion based on a previous foreclosure judgment and the denial of a prior motion to vacate the foreclosure judgment. Accordingly, we affirm.
