Sentencing — costs

Gerald Crowe appeals amended judgments of conviction that added statutorily mandated costs. He also appeals a judgment for unpaid fines, forfeitures, and other financial obligations. When the circuit court granted relief pending appeal, it noted errors in the amended judgments. This court retained jurisdiction and remanded the matter to the circuit court to correct the errors pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 808.075(6) (2011-12). The court corrected the judgments and Crowe has not filed an objection to the revised judgments as allowed by § 808.075(8). Therefore, we review the amended judgments as revised on remand. Crowe contends the circuit court lacked authority to impose statutorily mandated costs that were not imposed at the time of sentencing. We reject that argument and affirm the judgments as amended on remand. However, because the subsequent judgment for unpaid costs may be affected by the revisions made on remand, and we are unable to determine the correct amount owed from the record before this court, we vacate the Dec. 26, 2012 judgment for unpaid costs. Judgments affirmed; vacated. This opinion will not be published.
