State ex rel. Lockman v. Gerhardstein, 107 Wis.2d 325, 320 N.W.2d 27 (Ct. App. 1982) (finding the time limit mandatory) is distinguishable because Lockman involved a delay caused by the state.

To hold otherwise would permit detained subjects to manipulate the system in some fashion to prevent the hearing from taking place within the required time period.

Affirmed.

Recommended for publication in the official reports.

Dist I, Milwaukee County, Manian, J., Wedemeyer, P.J.

For Appellant: Richard D. Martin, Milwaukee
