WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Bruce W. Butzlaff, et al. v. William Reynolds, et al.

Case No.: 2017AP1347

Officials: STARK, P.J.

Focus: Reconsideration Motion Denied and Frivolous Appeal

William Reynolds, pro se, appeals a small claims judgment requiring him to refund money paid to him pursuant to an oral agreement with Bruce Butzlaff, Jill Butzlaff, and Michael Hoerchler (collectively, the Butzlaffs), and an order denying his reconsideration motion. Reynolds argues that the circuit court erred when it determined he breached the agreement, and he instead contends that he is owed damages on his counterclaim for the Butzlaffs’ wrongfully terminating his services under that agreement. The Butzlaffs ask us to find Reynolds’s appeal is frivolous and award them costs and attorney’s fees. We affirm the circuit court and deny the Butzlaffs’ motion.
