WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Peter J. Long
Case No.: 2016AP1069
Officials: Reilly, P.J., Gundrum and Hagedorn, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Peter J. Long pled guilty and was convicted of his eighth-offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). He files this appeal, pro se, challenging an order of the circuit court denying his postconviction motion. Long seeks to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming that trial counsel and postconviction counsel were ineffective. As we conclude that counsel were not ineffective, we affirm the circuit court’s decision.
