WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: HSBC Bank USA National Association v. Steven R. Lisse, et al.

Case No.: 2018AP557

Officials: Lundsten, P.J., Blanchard and Kloppenburg, JJ.

Focus: Evidentiary Hearing

Steven and Sondra Lisse appeal an order of the circuit court granting confirmation of sale and denying their motion for relief from the judgment of foreclosure. The Lisses sought relief from the final judgment on the basis that they obtained an expert report, after the judgment was entered, opining that the promissory note that HSBC Bank presented to the circuit court was a forgery and, therefore, that HSBC obtained the judgment through fraud. The Lisses make two arguments. First, they contend that they were entitled to relief from the judgment under WIS. STAT. § 806.07(1)(g) (2017-18). Second, the Lisses argue that they were entitled to an evidentiary hearing under § 806.07(1)(h), which would have given them an opportunity to prove that they were entitled to relief from the judgment. We affirm the circuit court.
