2010AP2485 In the matter of the refusal of Jesse M. Schaefer

Listen to this article

Wisconsin Court of Appeals
CRIMINAL UNPUBLISHED

Motor Vehicles
Implied consent; motions to reopen; excusable neglect; competency

Jesse M. Schaefer’s operating privileges were revoked after he failed to request a refusal hearing within the 10-day time limit set forth in Wis. Stat. ß 343.305(10).

Schaefer requested that the municipal court reopen the proceedings based on excusable neglect.

The municipal court denied Schaefer’s request and the circuit court affirmed. Because a revocation order under ß 343.305(10) is not subject to a request to reopen under Wis. Stat. ß 806.07(1)(a), the municipal court lacked competency to grant Schaefer’s request.

We affirm the circuit court’s order. This opinion will not be published.
