WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. David J. Jackson, et al.
Case No.: 2018AP471
Officials: BLANCHARD, J.
Focus: Moot Appeal
In this family court matter involving David Jackson and Diana Stascak, I dismiss on mootness grounds two issues that Jackson, pro se, purports to raise on appeal. Both of these moot issues directly challenge the circuit court’s finding that Jackson was in contempt. I conclude that both issues are moot and that there is insufficient reason to address the moot arguments. Separately, I affirm the circuit court on a third issue, which involves Jackson’s argument that the circuit court “lost its competency to render” an order because “mandatory statutory time requirements were not met.”
