Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Criminal
Sentencing – discretion — alien status — DNA surcharge
Leopoldo R. Salas Gayton appeals the judgment entered after he pled no contest to homicide by intoxicated use of a car and operating without a valid license, causing death. See Wis. Stat. §§ 940.09(1)(a), 939.50(3)(d), 343.05(5)(b) & 939.51(3)(a). He also appeals the circuit court’s denial of his motion for postconviction relief. He argues here that the circuit court: (1) did not consider the proper factors in connection with his sentence; and (2) did not sufficiently explain why he should pay a DNA surcharge, see State v. Cherry, 2008 WI App 80, 312 Wis. 2d 203, 752 N.W.2d 393. We affirm. Publication in the official reports is not recommended.
