WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Antonio Lamar Tatum
Case No.: 2014AP1942
Officials: Brennan, Brash and Dugan, JJ
Focus: Postconviction Motion Denied
Antonio Lamar Tatum, pro se, appeals an order denying his collateral postconviction motion brought pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2013-14). 1 Because Tatum has not demonstrated a sufficient reason for failing to make his current claims in his previous no-merit appeal, he is barred from doing so in this appeal. See State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 185, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994). Moreover, even if his arguments were not barred, Tatum’s claims of ineffective assistance of trial and postconviction counsel would fail on their merits. Accordingly, we affirm the order denying postconviction relief.
