WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Luegene Antoine Hampton

Case No.: 2016AP371-CR

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

Focus: Sentencing Guidelines

Luegene Hampton, pro se, appeals orders amending a judgment of conviction as it relates to Hampton’s parole eligibility date and denying Hampton’s “motion for reconsideration and/or clarification.” Hampton argues that when his sentence was imposed in 1995, the circuit court erred by failing to set a specific day, month and year for his parole eligibility. Hampton further contends that the circuit court’s failure to set a date certain cannot be cured by simply amending the judgment but, rather, requires that either the sentence be commuted or that he be resentenced. We reject Hampton’s arguments and affirm the orders.
