809.107 Note NOTE: 1993 Wis. Act 395, which creates this section, contains extensive explanatory notes.
809.107 Annotation Time limits imposed by the legislature in sub. (6) did not constitute unconstitutional infringements on the judiciary, as they are subject to court modification. Time limits imposed by sub. (5) did not violate constitutional guarantees of due process or effective assistance of counsel. Interest of Christopher D. 191 W (2d) 681, 530 NW (2d) 34 (Ct. App. 1995).
809.107 Annotation The no merit appeal procedure under s. 809.32 and the authority to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal under s. 809.82 (2) do not apply to appeals regarding terminations of parental rights. Gloria A. v. State, 195 W (2d) 268, 536 NW (2d) 396 (Ct. App. 1995).
809.107 Annotation While section 809.32 relating to no merit reports does not apply to appeals under this section, the filing of a no merit report is not precluded where the notice of intent and notice of appeal under subs. (2) and (5) are timely filed and the report is filed within the time for filing the appellant's brief under sub. (6) (a). Brown County v. Edward C.T. 218 W (2d) 160, 579 NW (2d) 293 (Ct. App. 1998).
809.11 809.11 Rule (Items to be filed and forwarded).
809.11(1) (1)Fee. The appellant shall pay the filing fee with the notice of appeal.
809.11(2) (2)Forwarding to court of appeals. The clerk of the trial court shall forward to the court of appeals, within 3 days of the filing of the notice of appeal, a copy of the notice of appeal, the filing fee, and a copy of the trial court record of the case maintained pursuant to s. 59.40 (2) (b) or (c).
809.11(3) (3)Filing in court of appeals. The clerk of the court of appeals shall file the appeal upon receipt of the items referred to in sub. (2).
809.11(4) (4)Statement on transcript. The appellant shall file with the clerk of the court of appeals within 10 days of the filing of the notice of appeal in the trial court, a statement that a transcript is not necessary for prosecution of the appeal or a statement by the court reporter that the transcript or designated portions thereof have been ordered, arrangements have been made for the payment by the appellant of the cost of the original transcript and all copies for other parties, the date on which the transcript was ordered and arrangements made for payment, and the date on which the transcript is due.

809.11 History History: Sup. Ct. Order, 83 W (2d) xiii (1978); Sup. Ct. Order, 92 W (2d) xiii (1979); Sup. Ct. Order, 104 W (2d) xi (1981); Sup. Ct. Order, 146 W (2d) xiii (1988); 1995 a. 201, 224; 1997 a. 35.
809.11 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1978: This section requires the forwarding of the notice of appeal, filing fee and trial court docket entries immediately, the record to be forwarded when the transcript is completed. This will permit early notice to the court of the pendency of the appeal and will permit it to monitor the appeal during the period when the record and transcript are being prepared.
809.11 Annotation Another purpose of this section is to expedite the appellate process by requiring the appellant to order the transcript, if one is necessary, within 10 days of the filing of the notice of appeal. The filing of the statement of the reporter that the transcript has been ordered and arrangements made for payment for it will prevent any delay resulting from counsel not ordering the transcript immediately.
809.11 Annotation Docket entries are required by s. 59.39 (2) and (3). In order to comply with this section, the docket entries will have to be kept. [Re Order effective July 1, 1978]
809.11 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1979: Sub. (4) is amended to clarify that the statement on transcript that is initiated by the appellant must include information that arrangements have been made for the preparation and payment of copies of the transcript for the other parties to the appeal. The language clarification rectifies a present ambiguity in chapter 809 in regard to who is responsible for initiating the arrangements for preparation and payment of copies of the transcript as compared with just the original. The appellant must make all arrangements for the original and copies of a transcript and is responsible for payment. Cost of the preparation of the transcript is included in allowable costs under 809.25. [Re Order effective Jan. 1, 1980]
809.11 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1981: Sub. (4) is amended to require that the appellant file a copy of the statement on transcript with the clerk of the trial court within 10 days of the filing of the notice of appeal. This filing will notify the trial court clerk as to whether a transcript is necessary for prosecution of the appeal and, if so, the date on which the transcript is due. [Re Order effective Jan. 1, 1982]
809.11 Annotation See note to 809.10, citing Douglas v. Dewey, 147 W (2d) 328, 433 NW (2d) 243 (1989).
809.12 809.12 Rule (Motion for relief pending appeal). A person seeking relief under s. 808.07 shall file a motion in the trial court unless it is impractical to seek relief in the trial court. A motion in the court must show why it was impractical to seek relief in the trial court or, if a motion had been filed in the trial court, the reasons given by the trial court for its action. A person aggrieved by an order of the trial court granting the relief requested may file a motion for relief from the order with the court. A judge of the court may issue an ex parte order granting temporary relief pending a ruling by the court on a motion filed pursuant to this rule. A motion filed in the court under this section must be filed in accordance with s. 809.14.
809.12 History History: Sup. Ct. Order, 83 W (2d) xiii (1978); 1981 c. 390 s. 252.
809.12 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1978: Rule 809.12 details the procedure for seeking temporary relief pending appeal. It follows generally the prior unwritten procedure and Rule 8 (a), FRAP. [Re Order effective July 1, 1978]
809.13 809.13 Rule (Intervention). A person not a party to an appeal may file in the court a petition to intervene in the appeal. A party may file a response to the petition within seven (7) days after service of the petition. The court may grant the petition upon a showing that the petitioner's interest meets the requirements of s. 803.09 (1) or (2).
809.13 History History: Sup. Ct. Order, 83 W (2d) xiii (1978); 1981 c. 390 s. 252.
809.13 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1978: Former s. 817.12 (6) permitted the addition of parties but did not set the criteria for doing so. This void is filled by making the intervention rule in the Rules of Civil Procedure applicable to proceedings in the Court of Appeals. [Re Order effective July 1, 1978]
809.13 Annotation A party who could have, but failed to, file a timely notice of appeal may not participate in the appeal as an intervenor or by filing a nonparty brief. Weina v. Atlantic Mut. Ins. Co. 177 W (2d) 341, 501 NW (2d) 465 (Ct. App. 1993).
809.14 809.14 Rule (Motions).
809.14(1)(1) A party seeking an order or other relief in a case shall file a motion for the order or other relief. The motion must state the order or relief sought and the grounds on which the motion is based and may include a statement of the position of other parties as to the granting of the motion. A motion may be supported by a memorandum. Any other party may file a response to the motion within 7 days of service of the motion.
809.14(2) (2) A motion for a procedural order may be acted upon without a response to the motion. A party adversely affected by a procedural order entered without having had the opportunity to respond to the motion may move for reconsideration of the order within 7 days of service of the order.
809.14(3) (3) The filing of a motion seeking an order or other relief which may affect the disposition of an appeal or the content of the record or a brief automatically enlarges the time for performing an act required by these rules for a period coextensive with the time between the filing of the motion and its disposition.
809.14(4) (4)Subsection (3) does not apply in an appeal under s. 809.105.
809.14 History History: Sup. Ct. Order, 83 W (2d) xiii (1978); Sup. Ct. Order, 92 W (2d) xiii; 1991 a. 263; 1995 a. 224.
809.14 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1978: The motion procedure under former Rule 251.71 is continued except that the time for replying to a motion is reduced from 10 to 7 days. A response is not required before action can be taken on a procedural motion because these motions include matters previously handled by letter request or which usually do not adversely affect the opposing party. If an opposing party is adversely affected by a procedural order, he has the right to request the court to reconsider it. Procedural orders include the granting of requests for enlargement of time, to file an amicus brief, or to file a brief in excess of the maximum established by the rules. This section is based on Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 27. Sub. (3) modifies the prior practice under which the filing of any motion stayed any due date until 20 days after the motion was decided. This could result in an unintentional shortening of the time in which a brief had to be filed. It could also result in an unnecessary delay if a ruling on the motion would not affect the outcome of the case, the issues to be presented to the court, or a brief or the record. [Re Order effective July 1, 1978]
809.14 Note Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1979: Sub. (1) is amended by deleting a provision that required only an original and one copy of a motion be filed with an appellate court. With the amendment, the number of copies of a motion to be filed is now governed by 809.81 on the form of papers to be filed with an appellate court, which requires in sub. (2) that 4 copies of a paper be filed with the Court of Appeals and 8 copies with the Supreme Court. [Re Order effective Jan. 1, 1979]
809.14 Annotation Motion to dismiss appeal under (3) does not extend time for filing cross-appeal. Marriage of Rossmiller v. Rossmiller, 151 W (2d) 386, 444 NW (2d) 445 (Ct. App. 1989).
809.15 809.15 Rule (Record on appeal).
809.15(1) (1)Composition of record.
809.15(1)(a)(a) The record on appeal consists of the following unless the parties stipulate to the contrary:
809.15(1)(a)1. 1. The paper by which the action or proceeding was commenced;
809.15(1)(a)2. 2. Proof of service of summons or other process;
809.15(1)(a)3. 3. Answer or other responsive pleading;

809.15(1)(a)6. 6. Opinion of the court;
809.15(1)(a)7. 7. Final judgment;
809.15(1)(a)8. 8. Order made after judgment relevant to the appeal and papers upon which the order is based;
809.15(1)(a)9. 9. Exhibits material to the appeal whether or not received in evidence;
