WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Steven F. Zastrow

Case No.: 2015AP2182-CRAC

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

Focus: DOC Error – Sentence Calculation

Steven Zastrow appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. He argues the Department of Corrections (DOC) erroneously calculated the date of his release to extended supervision when it determined his prison sentence in Outagamie County case No. 2002CF1013 began on January 31, 2008—the date his sentence in Winnebago County case No.2005CF158 was vacated. We conclude Zastrow’s prison sentence in Outagamie County case No. 2005CF285—the only Outagamie County case he appeals and which sentence was consecutive to the imposed sentence in Outagamie County case No. 2002CF1013—began on October 18, 2013. We therefore reverse the order denying postconviction relief and remand to the circuit court with directions that the DOC recalculate the date of Zastrow’s release to extended supervision.
