Commencing Appeal – Effect of Notice of Appeal to Non-Final Order – Construing as Petition for Leave to Appeal

State v. Gary J. Knapp, 2007 WI App 273
For Knapp: Cory C. Chirafisi

Issue/Holding: Dismissal of an appeal as having been directed to a non-final order doesn’t in and of itself bar the court of appeals from deciding to grant leave to appeal, ¶7 n. 2:

In its jurisdictional memoranda, the State asks us to construe its notice of appeal as a petition for leave to appeal in the event that we decline jurisdiction over the appeal.  For logistical reasons, we conclude that it makes more sense to construe the State’s memoranda as its petition for leave, and we do so by separate order.
