WI Supreme Court

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Melisa Valadez

Case No.: 2014AP678; 2014AP679; 2014AP680

Practice Area: Immigration – Motion to Withdraw

Appellant improperly denied motion to withdraw guilty plea.

“To hold that Ms. Valadez cannot withdraw her guilty pleas because the federal government has not excluded her from admission is, as a matter of practicality, unworkable and effectively expunges an enumerated consequence——exclusion from admission——from Wis. Stat. § 971.08(2).”

Concurring in Part: J. Ziegler, J. Gableman

Dissenting: J. Prosser, J. Roggensack
