OWI; prior convictions; collateral attacks

Douglas Reese appeals a judgment convicting him of fifth-offense driving while intoxicated. He pled no contest after the circuit court denied his motion to void a prior conviction in Calumet County for the purposes of penalty enhancement. Reese contends he was not represented by counsel during his guilty plea in the Calumet County case and his waiver of counsel was not knowing, voluntary and intelligent. Because the State met its burden of showing by clear and convincing evidence that Reese knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to counsel in the Calumet County case, we affirm the judgment. This opinion will not be published.
