Sentencing
DNA surcharge
Jose G. Santiago, pro se, appeals an order denying his motion to modify his sentence. He challenges the DNA surcharge imposed by the circuit court, arguing that the court failed to adequately explain why it was imposed. See State v. Cherry, 2008 WI App 80, ¶10, 312 Wis. 2d 203, 752 N.W.2d 393 (when the circuit court exercises discretionary power to impose a DNA surcharge, it must explain its reasons for doing so). We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
