809.21 Rule (Summary disposition).
(1) The court upon its own motion or upon the motion of a party may dispose of an appeal summarily.
(2) A party may file at any time a motion for summary disposition of an appeal. Section 809.14 governs the procedure on the motion.
History: Sup. Ct. Order, 83 Wis. 2d xiii (1978); 1981 c. 390 s. 252.
Judicial Council Committee's Note, 1978: The basic concept in former Rule 251.54 of allowing the Supreme Court to dispose of appeals summarily is continued, but Rule 809.21 specifically authorizes a motion for this purpose. Such a motion was often used under prior procedure, but the rules did not expressly authorize it. [Re Order effective July 1, 1978]
