If published, the official version will appear in the bound volume of the Official Reports. Marilyn L.

No. 98-2643 STATE OF WISCONSIN IN COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT IV STEPHEN V. HANNIGAN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT, V. LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, RELIANCE NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY, BORGELT, POWELL, PETERSON & FRAUEN, S.C., A WISCONSIN SERVICE CORPORATION, ERIC B. JENSEN AND VIRGINIA NEWCOMB, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS. APPEAL from a judgment of the circuit court for Dane County: RICHARD J. CALLAWAY, Judge. Affirmed in part; reversed in part and cause remanded with directions. Before Dykman, P.J., Eich and Vergeront, JJ. VERGERONT, J. Stephen Hannigan appeals a summary judgment dismissing his claims under §§ 146.81-84 and 51.30, STATS., regarding the NO. 98-2643 have also decided that the bringing of a personal injury lawsuit putting one’s health in issue does not, in itself, mean that there can be no claim under § 895.80, STATS., with respect to one’s health care or treatment records.1 We therefore reverse the court’s determination regarding frivolousness, and remand for an evidentiary hearing and such other proceedings as the court may consider appropriate consistent with this opinion. By the Court.—Judgment affirmed in part; reversed in part and cause remanded with directions. Not recommended for publication in the official reports. 1 We do not decide whether there are other grounds for concluding that the claims had no reasonable basis in law or equity. 33
