WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Charles J. Hertleben

Case No.: 2016AP1066-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ

Charles Hartleben appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his postconviction motion for resentencing. Hartleben argues his trial attorney was ineffective by failing to object to the presentence investigation report (PSI) on grounds that the probation agent who prepared the

PSI was impliedly biased against him. We conclude Hartleben has failed to establish implied bias on the part of the PSI author. Accordingly, his trial attorney was not ineffective by failing to object to the PSI. We therefore affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying postconviction relief.
