The Board concludes there has been an insufficient showing of negligence on the part of the state, its officers, agents or employes and this claim is not one for which the state is legally liable nor one which the state should assume and pay based on equitable principles.
11. Anthony T. Hicks of Madison, Wisconsin has filed a claim with the Claims Board for innocent conviction under section
775.05, Stats. At this time, he has an action for legal malpractice pending against his trial attorney. The claimant requests that the board consider his claim prior to the resolution of his outstanding legal action.

1. The claims of the following claimants should be denied:
Estate of Yvonne A. Ozzello
Robert and Rebecca Duckworth
Jane Pope
Conlee Cox
Duane Dorn
Thomas and Rosalie Mikich

The Honorable, The Legislature:
The purpose of this letter is to report to the governor and Legislature regarding allegations of worker's compensation fraud reported to the Department of Workforce Development.
1993 Wisconsin Act 81 created s.
102.125, Wis. Stats. By law, the Department records allegations of worker's compensation fraud, and if there is a reasonable basis to believe that a violation of s.
943.395, Stats., (insurance fraud) has occurred, it refers the case for prosecution by the district attorney for the county in which the violation occurred. The Department also reports annually to the Governor and Legislature regarding the number of allegations and referrals, and the results of the referrals.
This report summarizes the 6-year history of the program. As described in the report, the successful prosecution of fraud requires a close working relationship among insurance carriers, prosecutors, the employer community and the Department.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Reinert
