Before Sherman, J.
By prior order, we directed Attorney Philip Brehm to consider whether there would be arguable merit to a claim that Anita P.’s trial counsel was ineffective by failing to challenge the constitutionality of Wis. Stat. § 48.415(4) (2011-12).[1] Attorney Brehm has now filed a response indicating that he has determined there would be arguable merit to a postdisposition motion. Counsel moves to convert this appeal to a merit appeal and extend the time to pursue a postdisposition motion.
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the no-merit report is rejected and this appeal is converted to a merit appeal.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this court retains jurisdiction over this appeal and the record is remanded to the circuit court to hear and decide the postdisposition motion.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the circuit court shall hear and decide the appellant’s motion within thirty days of the date of this order. The appellant shall request transcripts within fifteen days of the date of the circuit court’s decision. The court reporter shall file and serve the transcripts within thirty days of the request for transcripts. The appellant’s brief is due within fifteen days after service of the transcript.
