Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal
Eric M. Walker, pro se, appeals from a trial court order denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10) motion for postconviction relief. Walker argues that the trial court erroneously denied his motion to withdraw his guilty pleas at the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing on his Bangert motion. We conclude, based on the totality of the record, that the trial court’s findings of fact are not clearly erroneous and that those facts demonstrate that the State met its burden of proving that Walker’s pleas were entered knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily, despite a deficiency in the plea hearing. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist I, Milwaukee County, Donald, J., Per Curiam
Attorneys: For Appellant: Walker, Eric M., pro se; For Respondent: Gansner, William L., Madison; Loebel, Karen A., Milwaukee
