Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Fraud — sufficiency of the evidence
Greg LaPean appeals a judgment of conviction for transferring encumbered property with the intent to defraud, in violation of Wis. Stat. § 943.84(2)(a) (2011-12), and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. LaPean asks us for any one of three forms of relief: (1) reverse his conviction because the evidence was insufficient to support it; (2) reverse his conviction and grant him a new trial because the real controversy was not tried; or (3) remand his case for a Machner hearing because he alleges that his postconviction motion set forth a sufficient factual basis to demonstrate that his trial counsel was ineffective. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
