Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal

Stephanie M. Przytarski appeals the judgment finding her guilty of non-summary criminal contempt, see Wis. Stat. §§ 785.03(1)(b) & 785.04(2)(a), and the order denying her motion for postconviction relief. The issue is whether she has shown a post-sentence “manifest injustice” that would allow her to withdraw her guilty plea to non-summary criminal contempt. See State v. McCallum, 208 Wis. 2d 463, 473, 561 N.W.2d 707, 710 (1997) (“After sentencing, a defendant who seeks to withdraw a guilty or no contest plea carries the heavy burden of establishing, by clear and convincing evidence, that withdrawal of the plea is necessary to correct a manifest injustice.”). We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
