Kudos to Shareholder Jason Prochnow as he helped a small Wisconsin Defendant Municipality win a motion to dismiss the Plaintiff Wind Energy Corporation’s lawsuit seeking an injunction to declare the two defendant municipalities’ Wind Energy Ordinances invalid under Wisconsin law. Plaintiff initially filed suit to enjoin an earlier version of our client’s Wind Energy ordinance. Lind Jensen Sullivan & Peterson advised our client Municipality to amend its local Wind Energy Ordinance to better comply with WI Law. Plaintiff Wind Energy Corporation and its large firm Foley & Lardner lawyers were still not satisfied with our client’s Amended Local Regulation (complaining it went too far under WI law) and the Plaintiff, represented by Foley, proceeded with an Amended Complaint demanding a preliminary injunction to prevent the two co-defendant municipalities (our client and a neighbor) from enforcing their Amended Wind Energy regulations.

We first opposed and helped defeat the Plaintiff Wind Energy Company’s request for a Preliminary Injunction. We, along with our co-defendant, subsequently brought Motions to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint as a matter of law, which were recently granted by the Court. The Plaintiff may appeal, but the two small Defendant municipalities obtained a complete victory in Marathon County Circuit Court against the large Wind Energy corp.
