Stat. § (Rule) 809.18 governing voluntary dismissals of cases on appeal and creating a subsection which requires the parties to immediately notify the court that the matter has been compromised or settled.
IT IS ORDERED that a public hearing on the petition
shall be held in the Supreme Court Room in the State Capitol,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court's conference in the matter shall be held promptly following the public hearing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notice of the hearing be given by publication of a copy of this order and of the petition in the official state newspaper once a week for three consecutive weeks and in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days before the date of the hearing.[1]

BY THE COURT:
David R. Schanker
Clerk of Supreme Court
[1] Notice of the hearing will appear in the Wisconsin Lawyer, the official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin, 29 days prior to the hearing rather than the required minimum of 30 days due to the State Bar's publication schedule. Pursuant to its rule-making authority under Wis. Stat. § 751.12 and its Internal Operating Procedures, the court exercises its discretion to allow this unavoidable deviation from the requirements.
