Plaintiff-Appellant, FILED v. MAY 24, 2023
Employers Insurance Company of Wausau, Sheila T. Reiff Clerk of Supreme Court
Defendant-Respondent-Petitioner.
REVIEW of a decision of the Court of Appeals. Affirmed.
¶1 PER CURIAM. Employers Insurance Company of Wausau
(Wausau) petitioned for review of a court of appeals decision,
Pepsi-Cola Metropolitan Bottling Company, Inc. v. Employers
Insurance of Wausau, 2022 WI App 45, 404 Wis. 2d 337, 979
N.W.2d 627, which reversed a circuit court order granting
summary judgment for Wausau and denying partial summary judgment
for Pepsi. No three justices reach agreement to either affirm,
reverse, or affirm in part and reverse in part the court of
appeals decision. Because the court did not reach a majority as
to the mandate, the decision of the court of appeals is
affirmed.

No. 2021AP635
