Text: The court of appeals held that Juneau County, not DHSS, was a party to this action as enunciated in sec. 814.245, Stats. Sheely, 145 Wis. 2d at 333. But as Judge Sundby noted, this is a non-issue. Sheely brought this action under the second clause of sec. 814.245(3) which states: or in any proceeding for judicial review under s. 227.485(6) . . . Id. 145 Wis. 2d at 336 (Sundby, J., dissenting). We further note that Sheely petitioned for review of a final administrative decision of DHSS dated March 31, 1986, in the circuit court. DHSS appeared and was represented by counsel at the judicial review. It is for this proceeding which Sheely attempts to recover costs and fees pursuant to sec. 814.245(3). Juneau County was not a party in this portion of the proceedings.
