Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Prisons – prison discipline
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Dane County: FRANK D. REMINGTON, Judge. Reversed and cause remanded with directions.
Walter Kuranda, Jr., pro se, appeals a circuit court order that dismissed Kuranda’s petition for certiorari review of a prison disciplinary decision. Kuranda argues that the circuit court erred in its determination that Kuranda’s petition was untimely and that the Department of Corrections (DOC) erred in imposing restitution. We agree that Kuranda’s petition was timely and that the restitution order does not withstand certiorari review. We reverse the circuit court’s order and DOC’s restitution award, and direct the circuit court to remand to the hearing officer for further proceedings.
DISTRICT IV; Dane County; FRANK D. REMINGTON, Lundsten, Higginbotham and Kloppenburg, JJ.
