Attorney Disciplinary Proceedings
We review a report filed by Referee Robert E. Kinney, accepting a stipulation executed by Attorney Sandra J. Zenor and the Office of Lawyer Regulation (OLR), in which Attorney Zenor pled no contest to four counts of professional misconduct and agreed that the allegations of the OLR's complaint were established by clear, satisfactory, and convincing evidence.
Termination of Parental Rights
B.B. and E.B. appeal orders entered by the circuit court terminating their parental rights after a jury found that their children were in continuing need of protection or services.

Insurance Claim – Coverage – Jurisdiction
Adam Kodra sued Harold Fredd, Fredd’s business, Northern Precision Rifles, and Fredd’s purported homeowner’s insurer, USAA Casualty Insurance Company, alleging that Fredd’s negligence in customizing Kodra’s rifle caused the injuries that Kodra suffered when he subsequently fired the rifle and it exploded.
Statutory Interpretation – Patient Health Care Records Access
Beatriz Banuelos appeals the circuit court’s dismissal of her complaint alleging that the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority (UW Health) unlawfully charged her fees for providing, at her request, electronic copies of her patient health care records.
Sentence Modification
John G. Dahlk appeals pro se from a postconviction court order denying his motions for sentence modification and resentencing.
Probable Cause – Chemical Testing
Edward R. Gasse appeals the circuit court’s order finding that he unlawfully refused chemical testing of the level of alcohol in his system when requested by the arresting officer in this case.
Probable Cause – Suppression of Evidence – Breath Test
The State of Wisconsin appeals from the circuit court order suppressing evidence obtained by two Walworth County Sheriff Deputies in the case against Michael T. Paczkowski, who was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) and operating with a prohibited alcohol concentration (PAC), both as second offenses, contrary to WIS. STAT. §§ 346.63(1)(a)&(b) and 346.65(2)(am)2.
Abuse of Discretion – Sentence Modification
Santiago B. Rios appeals from a judgment entered on his no contest pleas to three misdemeanors: (1) criminal trespass to dwelling; (2) criminal damage to property; and (3) disorderly conduct.
Estate – Insurance Claim – Worker’s Compensation
Secura Supreme Insurance Company appeals from an order granting judgment to the Estate of Daniel Keith Huck (Estate).
Postconviction Relief – Evidentiary Hearing
Kelly V. Bodoh appeals from an order of the circuit court denying his WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2019-20) motion for postconviction relief. Because the record conclusively demonstrates that Bodoh was not entitled to relief, we affirm the circuit court’s order denying the motion without an evidentiary hearing.
Jurisdiction
