On behalf of the defendant-appellant, the cause was submitted on the memorandum of John D. Hyland of Hurley, Burish & Stanton, S.C., Madison.

PER CURIAM.

¶ 1 This procedural opinion addresses a threshold jurisdictional question. The question is whether a party may appeal a traffic forfeiture disposition based on a docket entry, rather than a written final order, when a municipal court decision has been appealed to a circuit court. The resolution of this question turns on an interpretation of the phrase "prosecuted in circuit court" in Wis. STAT. § 808.03(1)(c) (2009-10).1
