WI Stat § 809.41 (2015) What's This?

809.41 Rule (Motion for 3-judge panel or hearing in county of origin).

809.41(1)(1) Motion for 3-judge panel. If an appellant or a petitioner requesting the court of appeals 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 14 days after 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 11 days after service.

809.41(2) (2)Decision on motion for 3-judge panel. The chief judge may change or modify his or her decision on a motion that the matter be decided by a 3-judge panel at any time prior to a decision on the merits of the appeal or petition.

809.41(3) (3)Three-judge panel on court's own motion. Whether or not a motion for a 3-judge panel has been filed, the chief judge may order that an appeal or petition be decided by a 3-judge panel at any time prior to a decision on the merits of the appeal or petition.

809.41(4) (4)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 14 days after service of the notice of appeal. The failure to file a motion under this subsection waives the right to request the appeal be heard in the county where the case or action originated.
