Petition for Review
Filed By: Thomas Balistreri
Submit Date: 11-17-2015
Decision: (G) Grant
Decision Date: 1-11-2016
ORD petition granted. FRO briefs due 30/20/10. 1. SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON, J. (concurring in part, dissenting in part). I concur in part and dissent in part from the orders granting review in three cases, State v. Finley, 14AP2488-CR, Wisconsin Carry v. City of Madison, 2015AP146, and Regency West Apartments v. Racine, 2014AP2947. The efforts of one member of the court to unilaterally issue the grant orders threatened to contravene the court's internal procedures and raises the scent of lawlessness in this court. 2. On November 16, 2015, the court adopted a procedure governing when a justice may hold a matter in which a Commissioner of the SC recommended granting review. The procedure provides as follows: A justice, who wishes to hold a matter for which a Commissioner has recommended granting review, must submit in writing, with his or her e-mail votes, the specific reason(s) why he or she would not approve the grant as recommended by the Commissioner. Within 5 calendar days of that writing, all justices shall vote, by e-mail, to grant the matter, deny the matter, or otherwise approve the suggestions in the written proposal. If sufficient votes to grant the matter remain, the grant order shall issue within two business days. If the matter no longer has the requisite votes to grant, it shall be discussed in a court conference, but in any event, no later than at the next in-person petition for review conference. 3. The procedure was adopted pursuant to the Introduction to the SC's Internal Operating Procedures, which states that the IOP "may be changed without notice as circumstances require." The new procedure was adopted without any notice to the SC Commissioners and Clerk of the Supreme Court, let alone the litigants, lawyers, and the public. As a result, even members of the court staff are not apprised of the court's internal procedures and may err in their work. 4. A Commissioner of the SC recommended granting review in one of these three cases. In the other two cases, no recommendation regarding the granting of these petitions was made. 5. Although I opposed adopting this procedure, I followed it in holding the petition for review that the Commissioners recommended granting. On 1/7/16, I submitted in writing with my email votes on petitions for review my desire to hold this case and the reason why I would not approve the grant recommended by the Commissioners. According to the process outlined above, the justices are required to respond to my hold within 5 days. 6. Rather than wait for the votes of the justices, shortly after I submitted my holds, one member of the court, emailed the justices that unless she received votes from a majority of the court to honor my holds, orders would issue granting the petitions for review. 7. On 1/8/16, before any votes on my holds were received from any member of the court, a single member of the court emailed the justices that, because no justice had agreed with my request, these orders...
