Description
This is a review of a published decision of the court of appeals, State v. Beno, 110 Wis. 40, 327 N.W.2d 712 (Ct. App. 1982) (Beno II), vacating a writ of attachment issued by the circuit court for Dane county, Angela B. Bartell, circuit Judge, confining defendant Sharon Beno in Dane county jail until she has testified and produced documents in accordance with a subpoena issued by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Execution of the writ was stayed pending appeal. The issue on review is whether the circuit court erred in quashing defendant's subpoena directed to Richard White, an administrative assistant to then Assembly Speaker Ed Jackamonis, on grounds of legislative privilege. Holding that White had no legislative privilege, 1 the court of appeals reversed the order of the circuit court quashing the subpoena to White, vacated the writ of attachment against the defendant, and remanded the case for further discovery. We reverse the decision of the court of appeals and affirm the orders of the circuit court.
