Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

1Opinion of the CourtAnderson, J.
Kathryn Belich appeals the summary judgment granted to Steven Szymaszek. Belich's attorney, James A. Beaudry, also appeals an order finding Belich's lawsuit frivolous and awarding attorney's fees to Szymaszek. The trial court found that Beaudry failed to conduct an adequate investigation of Belich's claims during and before proceeding with the lawsuit against Szymaszek. We affirm the trial court's decisions and also determine this appeal to be frivolous; accordingly, we award Szymaszek his reasonable appellate attorney's fees and expenses.
