DKCLM, Ltd. v. County of Milwaukee

Dist. Ct. did not err in granting judgment in favor of defendants-county officials in instant section 1983 action alleging that defendants violated plaintiff’s constitutional rights by evicting plaintiff from property he had leased from third-party in violation of Wisconsin statute limiting timeframe for effectuating any court-ordered eviction and by destroying plaintiff’s personal property that had been removed from premises. While record was unclear whether sheriff had evicted plaintiff within 10-business-day statutory deadline, any Wisconsin statutory violation would not constitute deprivation of federal constitutional right. Plaintiff further failed to factually support claim that defendants had destroyed any personal property during eviction process.
