An indigent in a civil case is entitled to waiver of transcript fees on appeal if the trial judge finds that the indigent has arguable reason to believe that he or she is entitled to redress on appeal. State ex rel. Girouard v. Jackson County Circuit Court, 155 Wis. 2d 148, 454 N.W.2d 792 (1990). Under s. 808.07(1) and sub. (1), a circuit court has authority to confirm a sheriff's sale even though appeal of judgment of the foreclosure and sale is pending. Community National Bank v. O'Neill, 157 Wis. 2d 244, 458 N.W.2d 385 (Ct. App. 1990). When the court of appeals remands an appeal to the trial court for a Girouard determination, the court of appeals has jurisdiction to review the trial court decision without need for filing a 2nd notice of appeal. State v. Jacobus, 167 Wis. 2d 230, 481 N.W.2d 642 (Ct. App. 1992).
