Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Search and Seizure — search warrants — cell phones
Aaron C. Burton appeals from a judgment of conviction for burglary and from an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Burton contends that the trial court: (1) erred in denying his suppression motion because the warrant authorizing the search of his cell phone was defective and (2) erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion by finding him ineligible for the Challenge Incarceration Program (CIP). Because we conclude that the warrant was supported by probable cause and that the sentencing and postconviction courts properly determined Burton’s ineligibility for the CIP, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
