WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: Steggeman Investments, LLC v. Karin Nielsen

Case No.: 2020AP1905

Officials: DUGAN, J.

Focus: Sanctions – Summary Reversal of Appeal

Karin Nielsen appeals from an order of the circuit court in favor of Steggeman Investments, LLC, in this eviction action that Steggeman commenced against Nielsen on November 26, 2019. Steggeman has failed to file a brief in response to Nielsen’s appeal. Therefore, this court concludes that Steggeman abandoned this appeal, and this court exercises its discretionary power pursuant to WIS. STAT. RULE 809.83(2) to impose the sanction of summary reversal of the circuit court’s order in Steggeman’s favor. Accordingly, the circuit court’s order is reversed and this matter is remanded with directions to the circuit court to dismiss this case.
