There is not any particular statute or form that applies to your situation.

Stephen Walter Sawyer

There is no Wisconsin statute that does this. Some judges are willing to do it, others are not. It is a public record. It is best to do this with the assistance of a lawyer who has done it (not me).

Charles K. Kenyon Jr

In my experience, most judges take the position that they do not have the legal authority to seal cases from CCAP, but there are judges that will agree to do it in certain circumstances. You will need the assistance of an attorney to draft a formal motion if you would like to pursue this.
