Martin Bauknecht appeals from his 12-year sentence and denial of his motion for postconviction relief on four counts of issuing worthless checks as a habitual criminal. The single issue on appeal is Bauknecht’s challenge to the circuit court’s exercise of sentencing discretion. Bauknecht contends that the sentence is harsh, excessive and disproportionate to the offense committed.
This court rejects his challenge and affirms the sentence.
This opinion will not be published.
