WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: Village of Mishicot v. Jodi A. Arseneau
Case No.: 2019AP541
Officials: NEUBAUER, C.J.
Focus: Equal Protection Violation
Village of Mishicot appeals from an order dismissing a citation for an ordinance violation against Jodi A. Arseneau. The circuit court’s dismissal was based on its conclusion that the Village violated Arseneau’s Fourteenth Amendment rights of equal protection by selectively prosecuting her. The Village argued that Arseneau failed to show a prima facie case of selective prosecution. We agree and therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings.
