Criminal Procedure — postconviction discovery — exculpatory evidence

Jeffrey Donald Leiser, pro se, appeals an order denying his motion for: (1) an in camera review of reports that he believes were generated by Washington County social services; (2) postconviction discovery of those reports pursuant to State v. O’Brien, 223 Wis. 2d 303, 588 N.W.2d 8 (1999); and (3) a hearing to explore his allegation that the State’s failure to produce the reports before trial violated the State’s obligations to disclose exculpatory evidence, under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). Because Leiser offers only speculation about the content of the alleged reports that he seeks, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
