Supreme Court Orders

COMMENT to Section 809.32: Titles and
subtitles were added. Subsection (1) was broken down into paragraphs (a)
and (b). Subsection (1)(a) was revised to specify that the no merit
procedure applies only to direct appeals. It also requires that the
attorney certify in the no merit report that the attorney has discussed
the merits of the appeal with the defendant, informed the defendant of
the no merit options and procedures, and that the defendant did not
consent to closing the file without further representation by the
attorney or that the defendant requested the submission of a no merit
report.
Subsection (1)(a) was also amended to allow the attorney to reply
to the defendant's response to a no merit report. The rule allows the
attorney to file a supplemental no merit report and affidavit(s)
disclosing information that is outside the record and relevant to
counsel's no merit determination without violating confidentiality
rules. The supplemental report and affidavit procedure is in accordance
with SCR 20:1.6(c)(1), which allows disclosures of otherwise
confidential communications "to rectify the consequences of a client's
criminal or fraudulent act in the furtherance of which the lawyer's
services had been used;" SCR 20:1.6(c)(2), which allows disclosures "to
establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy
between the lawyer and the client...or to respond to allegations in any
proceeding concerning the lawyer's representation of the client;" and
SCR 20:3.3, which requires andor toward the tribunal. Service of the
response by the clerk on the attorney is necessary to ensure that the
attorney receives the defendant's response. Subsection (1)(b) requires
the attorney to certify in the no merit report that the attorney
discussed with the defendant all potential issues for appeal and the
defendant's options.
The second sentence in sub. (2) is new and requires the attorney
to notify the clerk, in the no merit notice of appeal, of the time limit
for filing the no merit report and the calculation used to determine
that time limit. The fourth sentence in sub. (2) is new and requires the
attorney to file a statement on transcript with the clerk but exempts
counsel from serving a transcript on other parties. The fifth sentence
in sub. (2) requires counsel to serve copies of all other papers on the
state.
Subsection (2)(a) is new and establishes the time limits if a no
merit report is not preceded by a postconviction motion. The
cross-reference was changed from s. 809.30(2)(g) to (e) because only the
original transcript and court record request triggers the 180-day time
limit.
Subsection (2)(b) is new and establishes the time limits if a no
merit report follows a postconviction motion.
The 10-day time limit in sub. (4) was changed to 14 days. Please
see the comment to s. 808.07. The time period for filing the petition
and supplemental petition may be affected by filing of a motion for
reconsideration in the court of appeals. See s. 809.62(8).
SECTIONS 809.40(1) and (3) of the statutes are amended to read:
809.40(1) An appeal to the court of appeals from a judgment or order
in a misdemeanor case, or a ch. 48, 51, 55
or, 938 or 980 case, or a motion
for postconviction relief in a misdemeanor case or any s.
971.17 proceeding must be initiated within the time periods
specified in s. 808.04 and is governed by the procedures specified in
ss. 809.30 to 809.32.
(3) Any civil appeal to the court of appeals under sub. (1) or (2) is
subject to the docketing statement requirement of s.
809.10(1)(a)(d) and may be eligible for the
expedited appeals program in the discretion of the court.
SECTION 809.40(4) of the statutes is created to read:
809.40(4) In chapter 48 and 938 cases, an order denying a motion to
suppress evidence or a motion challenging the admissibility of a
statement of the subject of the petition may be reviewed upon appeal
from a judgment even if the judgment was entered upon an admission or a
plea of no contest to the petition.
COMMENT to Section 809.40: Sub. (1) is amended to apply to ch.
980 and s. 971.17 cases. The reference to misdemeanor cases was deleted
because it was redundant. No substantive change was intended. Sub. (4)
is new and allows suppression issues in chs. 48 and 938 cases to be
appealed under the same circumstances available to defendants in
criminal cases. See § 971.31(10).
SECTION 809.41(1), (2) (title), (3) (title) and (4) of the statutes
are amended to read:
809.41(1) (title) Motion for 3-judge panel. If an appellant or
a petitioner requesting the court to exercise its supervisory
jurisdiction or its original jurisdiction to issue prerogative writs or
its appellate jurisdiction to grant petitions for leave to appeal
desires the matter to be decided by a 3-judge panel, the appellant or
petitioner shall file with the copy of the notice of appeal required by
s. 809.10(1)(a) or with the petition requesting the court to exercise
its supervisory, original or appellate jurisdiction a motion for a
3-judge panel. Any other party must file a motion under this rule for a
3-judge panel within 10 14 days of service of
the notice of appeal or with the response to the petition. The failure
to file a motion under this rule waives the right to request the matter
to be decided by a 3-judge panel. A motion for a 3-judge panel in a case
in which the state is a party shall also be served upon the attorney
general. The attorney general may file a response to the motion within
7 11 days of after
service.
(2) (title) Decision on motion for 3-judge panel.
(3) (title) 3-judge panel on court's own motion.
(4) (title) Motion for hearing in county of origin. If an
appellant desires that the appeal be heard in the county where the case
or action originated under s. 752.31(3), the appellant shall file with
the copy of the notice of appeal required by s. 809.10(1)(a) a motion
requesting a hearing in the county of origin. Any other party must file
a motion requesting a hearing in the county of origin within
10 14 days of after
service of the notice of appeal. The failure to file a motion under this
rule waives the right to request the appeal be heard in the county where
the case or action originated.
COMMENT to Section 809.41: Titles were added. The time limits in
sub. (1) and sub. (4) have been changed from 7 to 11 and 10 to 14 days.
See the comment to s. 808.07.
SECTION 809.43(1) and (2) of the statutes are amended to read:
809.43(1) A person shall who files a brief
or appendix 8 10 copies with the court
of a brief and appendix in the court of appeals or such
other the number as that the
court directs, and shall serve 3 copies on each party. If the
opposing party is not represented by counsel, only one copy need be
served on that party.
(2) A person who is found indigent under s. 814.29 and files
a brief or appendix and who is not represented by
counsel shall file the original and 2 copies with the
court 3 copies of a brief and appendix in the court of
appeals and shall serve one copy on each party. A prisoner
who has been granted leave to proceed without prepayment of fees under
s. 814.29(1)(m) and who is not represented by counsel shall file 3
copies of a brief or appendix in the court of appeals and shall serve
one copy on each party.
COMMENT to Section 809.43: Subsection (1) was revised to simplify
statutory language. The last sentence in sub. (1) is new and reduces the
number of copies required for a pro se party. Subsection (2) was revised
to simplify the language and to specify that this section applies only
to pro se parties.
SECTION 809.50(1)(intro.), (2) and (3) of the statutes are amended to
read:
809.50(1) (intro.) A person shall seek leave of the court to appeal a
judgment or order not appealable as of right under s. 808.03(1) by
filing within 10 14 days of
after the entry of the judgment or order a petition and
supporting memorandum, if any. The petition and memorandum combined may
not exceed 35 pages if a monospaced font is used or 8,000 words if a
proportional serif font is used. The petition shall contain:
(2) An opposing party in the trial court shall file a response with
supporting memorandum, if any, within 10 14 days
of after the service of the petition. The
response and memorandum combined may not exceed 35 pages if a monospaced
font is used or 8,000 words if a proportional serif font is used. Costs
and fees may be awarded against any party in a petition for leave to
appeal proceeding.
(3) If the court grants leave to appeal, the procedures for appeals
from final judgments are applicable to further proceedings in the
appeal, except that the .The entry of the order
granting leave to appeal has the effect of the filing of a notice of
appeal. The court may specify the issue or issues that it will review
in the appeal.
COMMENT to Section 809.50: The time limits in subs. (1) and (2)
were changed from 10 to 14 days. Please see the comment to s. 808.07.
Subsection (3) specifies that the court may grant discretionary review
on specified issues. This rule codifies Fedders v. American Family
Mut. Ins. Co., 230 Wis. 2d 577, 601 N.W.2d 861 (Ct. App. 1999),
which held a grant of leave to appeal from a non-final order or judgment
does not authorize cross-appeals as of right from the same or from
another non-final order or judgment; cross-appeals require a separate
petition for leave to appeal.
SECTION 809.51(2) of the statutes is amended to read:
809.51(2) The court may deny the petition ex parte or may order the
respondents to file a response with a supporting memorandum, if any, and
may order oral argument on the merits of the petition. The response and
memorandum combined may not exceed 35 pages if a monospaced font is used
or 8,000 words if a proportional serif font is used. The respondents
shall respond with supporting memoranda within 10
14 days of after service of the order. A
respondent may file a letter stating that he or she does not intend to
file a response, but the petition is not thereby admtted.
COMMENT to Section 809.51: The time limit in sub. (2) was changed
from 10 to 14 days. See the comment to s. 808.07.
SECTION 809.60(1) and (2) of the statutes are amended to read:
809.60(1) A party may file with the supreme court a petition to
bypass the court of appeals pursuant to s. 808.05 no later than
10 14 days following the filing of the
respondent's brief under s. 809.19 or response. The petition must
include a statement of reasons for bypassing the court of appeals.
(2) An opposing party may file a response to the petition within
10 14 days of after the
service of the petition.
COMMENT to Section 809.60: The time limits in subs. (1) and (2)
have been changed from 10 to 14 days. Please see the comment to s.
808.07.
SECTION 809.62(3) and (4) of the statutes are amended to read:
809.62(3) Except as provided in s. 809.32(4) sub.
(8), an opposing party may file a response to the petition within
10 14 days of after the
service of the petition.
(4) The petition for review and response, if any, shall
conform to s. 809.19(8)(b) and (d) as to form and certification
and, shall be as short as possible
but and may not exceed 35 pages in length if a
monospaced font is used or 8,000 words if a proportional serif font is
used, exclusive of appendix. The petition for review and the response
shall have a white cover and a party shall file 10 copies with the
clerk.
SECTION 809.62(8) of the statutes is created to read:
809.62(8) Filing of a motion for reconsideration pursuant to s.
809.24 in the court of appeals tolls the time for filing and responding
to a petition for review pursuant to this section or a petition or
supplemental petition pursuant to s. 809.32(4), and stays proceedings on
any pending petition for review.
(a) If the motion for reconsideration is filed before any petition
for review, the 30-day time period to file the petition and supplemental
petition, if any, starts from the date of filing of the order denying
the motion, or the court of appeals' amended decision or order.
(b) If a motion for reconsideration is filed, no party may thereafter
file a petition for review or supplemental petition until the court of
appeals files an order denying the motion for reconsideration or an
amended order or decision.
(c) If a motion for reconsideration is denied and a petition for
review had been filed before the motion for reconsideration was filed,
and if the time for filing a response to the petition had not expired
when the motion for reconsideration was filed, a response to the
petition may be filed within 14 days of the order denying the motion for
reconsideration.
(d) If a motion for reconsideration is denied and a petition for
review had been filed before the motion for reconsideration was filed,
and if the time for filing a supplemental petition pursuant to s.
809.32(4) had not expired when the motion for reconsideration was filed,
the supplemental petition may be filed within 14 days of the order
denying the motion for reconsideration or the time remaining to file the
supplemental petition at the time the motion for reconsideration was
filed, whichever is greater.
(e) If the court of appeals files an amended decision or order in
response to the motion for reconsideration, any party who filed a
petition for review pursuant to sub. (1) or s. 809.32(4), or a
supplemental petition pursuant to s. 809.32(4) prior to filing of the
motion for reconsideration must file with the clerk of the supreme court
a notice affirming the pending petition or supplemental petition, a
notice withdrawing the pending petition or supplemental petition, or an
amendment to the petition for review or supplemental petition within 14
days of the date of filing of the court of appeals' amended decision or
order. Any other party may file a response within 14 days of filing of
the petitioner's notice or amendment.
COMMENT to Section 809.62: The time limit in sub. (3) has been
changed from 10 to 14 days. Please see the comment to s. 808.07. The
last sentence of sub. (4) is new and specifies the color of the cover
that should accompany a petition for review and the number of copies
required.
Subsection (8) tolls the time for filing or responding to a
petition for review in the supreme court while a motion for
reconsideration of the same decision or order is pending in the court of
appeals, and stays supreme court consideration of the petition for
review while the motion for reconsideration is pending. The time frames
established for filing a petition, supplemental petition, amendment to a
pending petition and response to a petition following resolution of a
motion for reconsideration are intended to avoid unnecessary duplication
of effort for the parties and the appellate courts, and minimize
unnecessary expense. Service requirements of s. 801.14(4)
apply.
SECTION 809.64 of the statutes is amended to read:
809.64 Rule (Reconsideration) A party may seek reconsideration of the
judgment or opinion of the supreme court by filing a motion under s.
809.14 for reconsideration within 20 days of the filing
date of the decision of the supreme court.
COMMENT to Section 809.64: This section has been changed to
specify that the time limit for filing motions for reconsideration of
supreme court opinions is calculated from the date, not the filing, of
the decision.
SECTION 809.70(2) of the statutes is amended to read:
809.70(2) The court may deny the petition or may order the respondent
to respond and may order oral argument on the question of taking
original jurisdiction. The respondent shall file a response, which may
be supported by a memorandum, within 10 14 days
of after the service of the order.
COMMENT to Section 809.70: The time limit in sub. (2) was changed
from 10 to 14 days. Please see the comment to s. 808.07.
SECTION 809.80(1) of the statutes is amended to read:
809.80(1) A person shall file any paper required to be filed by these
rules with the clerk of the court, State Capitol, Madison,
Wisconsin 53702, unless a different place of filing is
expressly required or permitted by statute or rule. The clerk of the
court is located at 110 E. Main Street, Madison, WI 53703. The mailing
address for the clerk is P.O. Box 1688, Madison, WI 53701-1688.
SECTION 809.80(3), (4) and (5) of the statutes are created to
read:
809.80(3) Filing of papers; use of mail.
(a) Filing may be accomplished by any method. Except as provided in
par. (b) and (c), filing is not timely unless the clerk receives the
papers within the time fixed for filing.
(b) A brief or appendix is timely filed, however, if on or before the
last day for filing, it is:
(i) deposited in the United States mail for delivery to the clerk by
first-class mail, or other class of mail that is at least as
expeditious, postage pre-paid; or
(ii) dispatched to a third-party commercial carrier for delivery to
the clerk within 3 calendar days.
(c) A brief or appendix from a person confined in an institution is
timely filed if the brief or appendix is deposited in the institution's
internal mailing system on or before the last day for filing. A confined
person who mails a brief or appendix under this subsection shall also
file a certification or affidavit stating that first-class postage has
been pre-paid and setting forth the date on which the document was
deposited in the mailing system.
(4) Filing a petition for review. A petition for review
under s. 809.62 is timely filed only if the clerk actually receives the
petition within the time fixed for filing.
(5) Proof of filing date. (a) When a brief or appendix is
filed by mail or commercial carrier in accordance with s. 809.80(3)(b),
the attorney or person filing the document shall append an affidavit
setting forth the date and manner by which the document was mailed or
dispatched.
(b) The date shown on a private postage meter does not establish that
the document was mailed on that date.
COMMENT to Section 809.80: Subsection (1) was amended to provide
the correct address of the clerk of the supreme court and court of
appeals.
Subsections (3) through (5) are new, and are taken largely from
Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 25. Under the former rules, a
brief was not filed until it was physically received by the clerk,
regardless of when the brief may have been mailed. Because a party
outside the Madison area had to allow time for the postal or courier
delivery, briefing periods were often adversely affected merely to
ensure that a brief was actually received by the clerk before the
expiration of the filing deadline.
Subsection (3)(a) retains the general rule that a document is not
filed until it is received by the clerk. However, subsection (3)(b)
creates an exception for briefs and appendices that are filed with the
clerk. For those documents, a filing will be considered timely if, on or
before the deadline, the brief or appendix is either: (a) deposited in
the United States mail for delivery by first-class mail, or other class
of mail at least as expeditious, postage pre-paid, or (b) dispatched to
a commercial delivery service for delivery within 3 calendar days. When
a brief or appendix is mailed or sent by commercial courier, subsection
(5) requires that the party also file an affidavit of mailing stating
the date of mailing or dispatch. Subsection (3)(c) addresses briefs and
appendices filed by confined persons. For confined persons, a brief or
appendix will be timely filed if, on or before the deadline, the brief
or appendix is deposited in the institution's internal mailing system,
postage pre-paid. In addition, confined persons are required to include
a certification or affidavit stating the date on which the brief or
appendix was deposited in the institution's mailing system.
Rule 809.80(4) reiterates the long-standing rule that a petition
for review filed with the clerk of the supreme court must be actually
received by the clerk on or before the last day of the filing period.
The timely filing of a petition for review is necessary to invoke the
supreme court's appellate jurisdiction. See First Wis. Nat'l Bank
of Madison v. Nicholaou, 87 Wis. 2d 360, 274 N.W.2d 704 (1979). The
exception in sub. (3) does not apply to the filing of a petition for
review under s. 809.62. The requirement of service on other parties,
found in s. 801.14(4), is not affected by these amendments to s.
809.80.
SECTION 809.81(2) of the statutes is amended to read:
809.81 (2) Number of copies. An original and 4
Five copies in the court of appeals, an original and
8 9 copies in the supreme court. A party shall file an
original and 2 and 3 copies of a motion filed under s.
809.14 in the court of appeals when if the
appeal or other proceeding is one of the types of cases specified in s.
752.31(2).
SECTION 809.81(8) of the statutes is created to read:
809.81(8) Confidentiality. Every notice of appeal or other document
that is filed in the court and that is required by law to be
confidential shall refer to individuals only by their first name and the
first initial of their last name.
COMMENT to Section 809.81: Subsection (2) was amended to
eliminate the distinction between "original" and "copy," because current
technology produces copies of quality as good as the original.
Subsection (8) is new and requires that only the first name and last
initial be used in all documents in confidential cases.
SECTION 809.82(2)(d) is created to read:
(d) Service of copy. A copy of any motion to enlarge time limits
under s. 809.82(2) shall be served on the clerk of the circuit
court.
COMMENT to Section 809.82: Subsection (2)(d) was created to
provide notice to the clerk of any motion affecting time
limits.
SECTION 809.83(2) of the statutes is amended to read:
809.83(2) Noncompliance with rules. Failure of a person to comply
with a court order or with a requirement of these rules, other
than the timely filing of a notice of appeal or cross-appeal, does not
affect the jurisdiction of the court over the appeal but is grounds for
dismissal of the appeal, summary reversal, striking of a paper,
imposition of a penalty or costs on a party or counsel, or other action
as the court considers appropriate.
COMMENT to section 809.83: Subsection (2) is changed to allow
appellate courts to sanction parties who violate court orders.

By James C. Alexander
Procedure to Suspend Law License for
Noncompliance of Child and Family Support Orders,
Subpoenas, Warrants
In the Matter of the Adoption of a Procedure to Refuse to Grant or
to Suspend the License to Practice Law of a Person Certified under Wis.
Stat. § 49.857 to be Delinquent in Payment of Support or in
Noncompliance with a Support or Paternity Subpoena or Warrant
Order 00-05
In 1997, responding to federal legislation that addressed enforcement
of child and family support and other payments related to the support of
a child or former spouse, the Wisconsin Legislature enacted Wis. Stat.
§ 49.857 to provide for the denial, nonrenewal, restriction
and suspension of licenses of persons certified to be delinquent in
making court-ordered payments of support or failing to comply with a
subpoena or warrant relating to paternity or support proceedings. That
statute provides, in part, that the Wisconsin Department of Workforce
Development (DWD) enter into a memorandum of understanding with the
Supreme Court, with the court's agreement, that includes, among other
things, a procedure by which the court would suspend an attorney's
license to practice law or refuse to grant bar admission to an applicant
if the attorney or applicant is certified to be delinquent in making
court-ordered support payments or failing to comply with a subpoena or
warrant.
The court is considering the advisability of establishing such a
procedure by court rule, as well as the underlying issue of whether the
relationship between an attorney's delinquency or noncompliance in
support matters and the attorney's fitness to practice law is such as to
warrant the court's involvement in the matter. If the court determines
it advisable to establish a procedure, following is one procedure it is
considering, but is not proposing, and on which it is soliciting public
comment.
SECTION 1. 10.03(2) of the supreme court rules be amended to
read:
(2) Enrollment. Every person who becomes licensed to practice law in
this state shall enroll in the state bar by registering his or her name
and social security number with the association within 10 days
after admission to practice. Every change after enrollment in any
member's office address or social security number shall be
reported promptly to the state bar. The social security number of a
person enrolling in the state bar may not be disclosed to any person
except the department of workforce development for the purpose of
administering s. 49.22, stats.
SECTION 2. 11.04 (title) and 11.04 of the supreme court rules be
created to read:
11.04 (title) Suspension for nonpayment
of support, noncompliance with subpoena or warrant.
(1) In this rule:
(a) "Subpoena or warrant" means a subpoena or warrant issued by the
department of workforce development or a child support agency and
relating to paternity or support proceedings.
(b) "Support" means child or family support, maintenance, birth
expenses, medical expenses or other expenses related to the support of a
child or former spouse.
(2) Upon receipt of certification from the department of workforce
development pursuant to s. 49.857, stats., that a person licensed to
practice law in this state is delinquent in making court-ordered
payments of support or is not in compliance with a subpoena or warrant,
the supreme court shall suspend the license of that person to practice
law for 5 years in the case of delinquency in making court-ordered
payments of support or for 6 months in the case of failure to comply
with a subpoena or warrant.
(3) Before entering an order suspending an attorney's license under
sub. (2), the supreme court shall issue an order requiring the attorney
to show cause why his or her license to practice law should not be
suspended.
(4) A license to practice law suspended under sub. (2) shall be
reinstated as follows upon whichever of the following first occurs:
(a) Automatically upon the expiration of the period for which
suspended.
(b) By order of the supreme court upon notification by the department
of workforce development that the attorney has paid the delinquent
support or has made satisfactory alternative payment arrangements or has
satisfied the requirements under the subpoena or warrant.
(5) An attorney whose license to practice law is suspended under sub
(2) shall comply with the provisions of SCR 22.26.
SECTION 3. 40.06(4) of the supreme court rules be amended to
read:
(4) The board shall not certify an applicant while an attorney
disciplinary matter against the applicant is pending or the applicant is
certified by the department of workforce development as delinquent in
making court-ordered payments of support or failing to comply with a
subpoena or warrant, as those terms are defined in SCR 11.04(1). If an
applicant's license to practice law in another jurisdiction is suspended
or revoked for reasons related to professional responsibility at the
time the application is filed or at any time that the application is
pending, the suspension or revocation is a sufficient basis for denial
of certification.
As an alternative to that procedure, the court is considering, but is
not proposing, the adoption of a requirement that at the time of
application for bar admission and annually on the State Bar of Wisconsin
dues statement, each applicant and attorney licensed to practice law in
Wisconsin, respectively, certify that he or she is not delinquent in
making court-ordered payments of support or in noncompliance with a
subpoena or warrant relating to paternity or support proceedings. The
failure of an applicant or an attorney to make that certification or the
making of a certification that is false would constitute grounds for the
denial of bar admission or the suspension of the attorney's license to
practice law.
IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing on this matter shall be held in
the Supreme Court Hearing Room, 119 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.,
Madison, Wis., on Oct. 17, 2000, at 1:30 p.m.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court's conference in the matter shall
be held promptly following the public hearing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notice of the hearing be given by a single
publication of a copy of this order in the official state newspaper and
in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin not more than
60 days or less than 30 days before the date of the hearing.
Dated at Madison, Wis., this 26th day of April, 2000.
By the court:
Cornelia G. Clark, Clerk

of Bar Examiners - Fees
Amended Order 00-08
