Chapter 809

809.107 Note New s. 809.107 (4) (a) codifies existing practice and establishes a time limit for the state public defender to appoint counsel and request transcripts and circuit court case records. The public defender’s time limit commences on the date that the public defender’s office receives the materials from the circuit court clerk, rather than on the date the notice of intent is filed, so as to reduce the number of extension motions that must be filed when the clerk does not timely send the materials under sub. (3) (a).

809.107 Note The amendment to s. 809.107 (4) (b) clarifies the procedure applicable to persons who are not represented by the state public defender and creates time limits applicable to a person who has applied for and has been denied public defender representation. In the latter case, the rule provides an additional 15 days for the person to obtain private counsel and request a copy of the transcript and case record. The time limit is set at 30 days because 15 days will have expired while the public defender’s office determines whether the person is eligible for appointed counsel. This time limit commences on the date the notice of intent was filed, rather than the date of the public defender’s determination because that determination does not appear in the case record.

809.107 Note Subsection (4m) includes the last two sentences of former sub. (4). Subsection (4m) also creates a new requirement for the circuit court clerk to indicate the date and manner of service in the case record. The new requirement is necessary because the notice of appeal time limit is measured from the date of service of the case record or transcript, whichever is later.

809.107 Note The amendment to s. 809.107 (5) (a) clarifies that the time limit for filing a notice of appeal commences 30 days from the later of the service of the transcript or case record. Persons contemplating filing a notice of appeal are better able to assess grounds for relief after reviewing both the transcripts and the circuit court case record.

809.107 Annotation Time limits imposed by the legislature in sub. (6) do not constitute unconstitutional infringements on the judiciary, as they are subject to court modification. Time limits imposed by sub. (5) do not violate constitutional guarantees of due process or effective assistance of counsel. Rhonda R.D. v. Franklin R.D., 191 Wis. 2d 680, 530 N.W.2d 34 (Ct. App. 1995).

App. 1998), 98-0075.

809.109 History History: Sup. Ct. Order No. 23-05, 2024 WI 20, filed 5-2-24, eff. 7-1-24; s. 35.17 correction in (2) (f) 2., (g), (j), (7) (b) 1.

809.109 Note NOTE: Sup. Ct. Order No. 23-05 states that the Judicial Council Note to s. 809.109 “is not adopted, but will be published and may be consulted for guidance in interpreting and applying the rule.”

809.109 Note Judicial Council Note, 2024: This section provides a uniform, organized, and expedited handling of appeals from orders under s. 971.14. Such appeals are unique in that the underlying case is criminal, but the nature of the appeal involves the defendant’s mental health and is deemed a special civil proceeding. Further, the competency orders are final for purposes of appeal, even though the criminal case has not been resolved. See State v. Scott, 2018 WI 74, ¶31, 382 Wis. 2d 476, 914 N.W.2d 141.

809.109 Note The unique nature of these appeals, including the short timeline within which the State must restore a defendant to competency per s. 971.14 (5) (a) 1., supports an expedited procedure for handling these appeals. Section 809.109 also codifies miscellaneous aspects of court decisions. To the extent that any provision of this section is inconsistent with preexisting case authority, this rule governs. For example, this section creates a limited automatic stay of involuntary medication orders in the prejudgment context, even though case law no longer requires an automatic stay. See State v. Green, 2022 WI 30, ¶36, 401 Wis. 2d 542, 973 N.W.2d 770.

809.109 Annotation Involuntary medication orders are subject to an automatic stay pending appeal [now under this section]. On a motion to lift an automatic stay, the state must: 1) make a strong showing that it is likely to succeed on the merits of the appeal; 2) show that the defendant will not suffer irreparable harm if the stay is lifted; 3) show that no substantial harm will come to other interested parties if the stay is lifted; and 4) show that lifting the stay will do no harm to the public interest. State v. Scott, 2018 WI 74, 382 Wis. 2d 476, 914 N.W.2d 141, 16-2017.

The clerk of circuit court shall transmit the statement on transcript to the court of appeals within 3 days after its filing.

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 Note 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 Note 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 s. 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 Note Judicial Council Note, 2002: Subsection (4) (b) is amended for consistency in terminology and to clarify that the court reporters’ statement regarding transcript arrangements, sometimes referred to as the court reporters’ certification, is required only for a transcript that has not been filed in circuit court when the statement on transcript is filed, consistent with the clerk of the court of appeals’ interpretation and enforcement practices.

809.11 Note Subsection (5) is amended to create a time limit for the completion of the transcript ordering process. If the appellant does not request the preparation of the additional portions of transcript that have been designated by another party within 14 days of the designation, the other party may either request the preparation of the portions from the reporter or move the circuit court for an order requiring the appellant to request the designated portions. This revision creates a 14-day time period for the other party to take action to obtain the additional portions of the record.
