“On five previous occasions, Casteel’s appeals have been dismissed based on Wis. Stat. sec. 974.06(4) and Escalona-Naranjo. This case is dismissed on the same basis. Because we conclude that Casteel knows or should know that this, his eighth postconviction order appeal, is without any reasonable basis in law or equity and is not supported by a good faith argument for an extension, modification or reversal of existing law, we determine that this appeal is frivolous.”
Order dismissing the appeal and imposing sanctions is affirmed.
