WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: City of Milwaukee v. David B. Munzinger
Case No.: 2018AP2186
Officials: BRASH, P.J.
Focus: OWI – Notice of Appeal
David B. Munzinger appeals an order of the circuit court dismissing his appeal of a judgment rendered by the Milwaukee Municipal Court which found him guilty of operating while under the influence of an intoxicant (OWI). The appeal was dismissed on the grounds that Munzinger failed to provide written notice of the appeal to the City of Milwaukee, pursuant to statutory requirements. Munzinger asserts that he provided sufficient written notice as well as actual notice of the appeal to the City. We agree with Munzinger that the written notice he provided to the City was sufficient, and therefore reverse and remand this matter to the circuit court to reinstate the appeal.
