Sentencing — accurate information

Lavalle Rimmer appeals two judgments convicting her of three counts of using personal identification to obtain a thing of value and one count of possession of personal identifying information with intent to use, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 943.201(2)(a) & 939.05 (2009‑10). Rimmer also appeals the order denying her motion for postconviction relief. Rimmer presents three arguments on appeal. She argues that: (1) the trial court relied on inaccurate information in sentencing her, and that the reliance on inaccurate information was not harmless error; (2) the trial court erred in denying her motion for an evidentiary hearing on the aforementioned sentencing issue; and (3) trial counsel was ineffective. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
