PART 2 - IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any non-party that wishes to file a brief in support of or in opposition to the petition for leave to commence an original action and the motion for temporary injunction must file a motion for leave of the court to file a non-party brief pursuant to the requirements of Wis.

Petition for an Original Action
Filed By: Ryan Walsh
Submit Date: 4-21-2020
Decision: (G) Grant
Decision Date: 5-1-2020
IT IS ORDERED that the Emergency Petition for Original Action is granted and this court assumes jurisdiction over this action as to only the following issues:

1. Whether the Department of Health Services (the Department) violated Wis. Stat. 227.24, governing emergency rules, by issuing Emergency Order No. 28 without complying with 227.24s procedures; and

2. Even if the Department did not violate 227.24, whether Emergency Order No. 28 exceeds the Departments authority by closing all nonessential businesses, ordering all Wisconsin persons to stay at home, and forbidding all nonessential travel; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court will hear oral argument in this matter at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 5, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, oral arguments before the court will be conducted via videoconferencing. The hearing room will not be open to the public. The public may watch proceedings on the Wisconsin Eye website. Counsel in this case will receive instructions from the Clerks Office prior to the date of the oral argument regarding the procedures for appearing remotely; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the petitioner and the respondents shall each have forty-five minutes of oral argument time. In addition to addressing the two issues set forth above, the parties may, in their discretion, also address whether a temporary injunction should be issued; and

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that amici curiae shall not be granted additional oral argument time.
