The Wisconsin Supreme Court has extended changes to its appellate court operations through May 22.
On Thursday, the high court ordered an extension to a March 17 order modifying appellate operations because of the coronavirus pandemic. The March 17 order had the changes scheduled to expire on Friday.
Under Thursday’s order, the following operational changes will continue through May 22:
The order said its provisions are subject to further modification or extension by future orders of the state Supreme Court. The Court of Appeals may also issue separate orders addressing handling matters pending in the appellate court.
Justice Rebecca Bradley dissented with the extension, saying it was longer than necessary. She said she would have made the court’s order align with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ Safer at Home order, which is in effect until April 24.
