WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Victory Valley Church, Inc. v. Alfred George, et al.
Case No.: 2018AP52
Officials: HAGEDORN, J.
Focus: Eviction – Personal Liability
This appeal arises from an eviction and money judgment against Alfred George d/b/a Victory Christian Cathedral, Inc. (George) after he defaulted on his lease with Victory Valley Church, Inc. (VVC). Almost two years after that decision, George moved to correct the record so that the judgment was not entered against him personally. The circuit court denied this request and awarded additional attorney’s fees and costs to VVC. On appeal from these rulings, George continues to dispute his personal liability and objects to the additional fees and costs. The problem is that George’s effort to change the underlying judgment is too late in the game. The issue has been forfeited and his motion was correctly denied; nor do we find any error in the circuit court’s imposition of fees and costs. We affirm.
