IN THE MATTER OF
THE PETITION OF
ARNOLD J. HILL and
KATHRYN C. HILL:
TANNISSE JOYCE,
Appellant,
v.
ARNOLD J. HILL
and KATHRYN C. HILL,
Respondents.
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Sawyer County:
NORMAN L. YACKEL, Judge.  Appeal dismissed.
Before Cane, P.J., LaRocque and Myse, JJ.




No.                                                                                   95-1632-FT
PER CURIAM.    Tannisse Joyce appeals an order that denied her
motion to set aside an earlier trial court order.1    The first trial court order
vacated a land plat under § 236.43, STATS., involving publicly dedicated land.
Joyce did not appeal the first trial court order, and her motion to set aside that
order raised nothing substantively different from what she had raised in the
earlier  trial  court  proceedings.    Under  these  circumstances,  Ver  Hagen  v.
Gibbons, 55 Wis.2d 21, 197 N.W.2d 752 (1972), bars her appeal.   Litigants who
miss the deadline to appeal a trial court order cannot extend this deadline by
first moving the trial court to set aside its earlier order and then appealing the
trial court's new order denying their motion.   Id. at 24-26, 197 N.W.2d at 754-55.
Rather, litigants may appeal the second order only if they raised new issues in
their motions to set aside the first order.  Id.  Moreover, such appeals reach only
the new issues.   We see nothing in this appeal that removes it from the Ver
Hagen rule.  As a result, we order the appeal's dismissal.
By the Court.—Appeal dismissed.
This opinion will not be published.  See RULE 809.23(1)(b)5, STATS.
1  This is an expedited appeal under RULE 809.17, STATS.
