The Court entered the following order on this date: 
 
Upon consideration of the petition for review filed in this 
matter by Attorney Joseph J. Kroening challenging that portion 
of the court of appeals’ November 13, 2002 decision that, on the 
court’s own motion, declared that the appeal Attorney Kroening 
filed on behalf of the defendants-appellants-petitioners, Daniel 
and Joan Paulin, was frivolous under Wis. Stat. § (Rule) 
809.25(3)(c)2 and directed that costs and fees for the frivolous 
appeal be assessed solely against Attorney Kroening, 
 
IT IS ORDERED the petition for review is granted and that 
part of the court of appeals’ decision declaring the appeal to 
be frivolous is summarily reversed and the cause is remanded to 
the court of appeals with directions that:  (1) the court of 
appeals shall give Attorney Kroening an opportunity to be heard 
regarding the frivolous appeal determination, and (2) the court 
of appeals shall then make specific findings to support any 
conclusion that the appeal is frivolous under Wis. Stat. § 
(Rule) 809.25(3)(c)2.
