WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: Kaylee Ann Francois v. David Allen Olsen

Case No.: 2018AP271

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Abuse of Discretion

David Olsen appeals a harassment injunction order entered by default, in favor of Kaylee Francois. Olsen also appeals the order denying his motion to reopen the default judgment. Olsen argues the circuit court erroneously exercised its discretion in denying his motion to reopen and in granting the injunction in the first instance. Additionally, Olsen asserts that the statute governing harassment injunctions, WIS. STAT. § 813.125(4) (2017-18), is unconstitutional. We reject Olsen’s arguments and affirm the orders.
