Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal — ineffective assistance
Howard Emmanuel Brown appeals a judgment, entered upon his guilty plea, convicting him of first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime, contrary to Wis. Stat. §§ 940.02(1) and 939.05 (2009-10). Brown also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for plea withdrawal. Brown argues he is entitled to withdraw his plea based on the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. We reject Brown’s argument and affirm the judgment and order. This opinion will not be published.
