WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin Ex Rel. Jamie D. Jardine v. Dean F. Stensberg
Case No.: 2016AP2421
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Violation of Due Process Rights
Jamie Jardine, pro se, appeals an order upholding the Parole Commission’s rejection of Jardine’s application for parole. He also appeals an order denying his motion for reconsideration. He argues: (1) the Commission violated his due process rights by relying on inaccurate factual predicates and failing to state with particularity the reasons for denying the application; (2) the Commission violated the ex post facto provisions of the United States and Wisconsin Constitutions by using laws that were not in effect at the time he committed his crimes; (3) the Commission’s decision was arbitrary and capricious; (4) the Commission improperly used the presentence investigation report (PSI) and Jardine’s medical records; and (5) the circuit court should have allowed him to call witnesses at the court proceeding to correct the Commission’s factual errors. We reject these arguments and affirm the orders.
