WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: William H. Heaney v. Oshkosh Business Center III, LLC,
Case No.: 2019AP2430-FT
Officials: GUNDRUM, J.
Focus: Court of Error – Admittance of Evidence
William Heaney appeals from a judgment dismissing his small claims replevin action seeking the recovery of three oil portraits hanging in the lobby of the “Oshkosh Northwestern Building,” a building owned by Oshkosh Business Center III, LLC. He asserts the circuit court erred in refusing to admit as evidence at the trial authorizations signed by his cousin and his cousin’s widow and erred in ultimately concluding he had not met his burden of proof to establish ownership of the portraits. We affirm.
