Jeffrey J. Rittenhouse appeals from orders denying his postconviction motions. He seeks to have his convictions dismissed based upon the denial of a speedy trial. In the alternative, he claims entitlement to withdraw his pleas of no contest to seven misdemeanor convictions because his counsel was ineffective in failing to litigate the illegal seizure and subsequent search of an automobile containing evidence of his crimes.
We are not persuaded by Rittenhouse’s arguments and affirm the orders.
This opinion will not be published.
Dist II, Sheboygan County, Langhoff, J., Snyder, J.
Attorneys:
For Appellant: Jeffrey J. Rittenhouse, Sayre, OK
For Respondent: James P. Van Akkeren, Sheboygan; Susan M. Crawford, Madison
