Wis. Stat. § 809.14
in effect(1) A party moving the appellate court for an order or other relief in a case shall file a motion for the order or other relief. The motion must state the order or relief sought and the grounds on which the motion is based and may include a statement of the position of other parties as to the granting of the motion. A motion may be supported by a memorandum. Except as provided in sub. (1m), any other party may file a response to the motion within 11 days after service of the motion.
(1m) If a motion is filed in an appeal under s. 809.107, any other party may file a response to the motion within 5 days after service of the motion.
(2) A motion for a procedural order may be acted upon without a response to the motion. A party adversely affected by a procedural order entered without having had the opportunity to respond to the motion may move for reconsideration of the order within 11 days after service of the order.
(3)
(a) The filing of a motion seeking an order or other relief which may affect the disposition of an appeal or the content of a brief, a motion seeking consolidation of appeals, a motion for extension of time to file a statement on transcript, or a motion relating to production of transcripts automatically tolls the time for performing an act required by these rules from the date the motion was filed until the date the motion is disposed of by order.
(b) The filing of a motion to supplement or correct the record automatically tolls the time for performing an act required by these rules from the date the motion was filed until the date the motion is disposed of by order. If a motion to correct or supplement the record is granted, time limits for performing an act required by these rules shall be tolled from the date on which the motion was filed until the date on which the supplemental or corrected record return is transmitted to the clerk of the court of appeals, except that the time for preparation of supplemental or corrected transcripts is governed by s. 809.11 (7) (a).

(b) For electronic filing users in the circuit court case, receipt of the notice of docketing and the pre-appeal motion through the circuit court electronic filing system provides access to the pre-appeal proceeding and constitutes service of the pre-appeal motion. Where service on the attorney general is required by s. 809.802 (1), service shall be made as provided in s. 809.802 (2). The clerk shall serve the notice of docketing on paper parties by traditional methods. The movant shall serve the pre-appeal motion on paper parties by traditional methods.
