Criminal Procedure — ex post facto clause

Willie C. Simpson appeals from orders denying his Wis. Stat. § 974.06 (2009-10) motions in two cases. He additionally appeals from an order denying reconsideration in the first case. Simpson’s general premise is that legislative changes to statutes, which were amended or enacted and first effective after Simpson’s convictions, are ex post facto violations, thereby invalidating those convictions. We reject Simpson’s argument and affirm the orders. This opinion will not be published.
