Plea Withdrawal
By: Derek Hawkins//July 11, 2017//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Java I. Orr
Case No.: 2016AP2009
Officials: Dugan, J.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Java I. Orr appeals the judgment of conviction entered after he pled guilty to two counts of battery and one count of disorderly conduct. He also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion. On appeal, Orr contends that: (1) he should have been permitted to withdraw his guilty pleas on the ground that trial counsel provided incorrect information regarding sentence credit that induced Orr to plead guilty and thereby rendered ineffective assistance; (2) the amount of sentencing credit applied in the revocation cases is a new factor justifying modification of his sentence; and (3) he was sentenced based on inaccurate information regarding the amount of sentence credit and should have been resentenced. We disagree and, therefore, affirm the judgment and the denial of Orr’s postconviction motion.
