Criminal Procedure
Successive appeals
Paul Dwayne Westmoreland appeals pro se from the trial court’s judgment and orders denying his motions for postconviction relief and reconsideration. Because Westmoreland has not stated a sufficient reason for failing to bring his claims in his first postconviction motion, we conclude his claims are procedurally barred by State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 181-82, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994). Consequently, we affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
