Civil Procedure – Venue

William Parker appeals a nonfinal order granting a WIS. STAT. 801.63 motion to stay the proceeding and permit trial in a foreign forum. Parker argues the court erroneously exercised its discretion because the motion was untimely and the court applied the wrong legal standard. Parker further argues that any argument for enlarging the time for filing the motion under WIS. STAT. 801.15(2) was forfeited, and that, regardless, there was no excusable neglect as required by that statute. We agree with Parker that the motion was untimely. We therefore reverse and remand. This opinion will not be published.
