WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Cle A. Gray, Jr. v. Robert Humphreys,

Case No.: 2016AP584-CR

Officials: Kloppenburg, P.J.

Focus: Motion for Contempt

Cle Gray, Jr., appeals pro se the circuit court’s order denying Gray’s motion for contempt. Gray moved the court of his criminal conviction to hold Robert Humphreys, the warden of the institution at which Gray was incarcerated at the time Gray filed the motion, in contempt of the amended judgment of conviction because the institution was deducting what Gray believed were excessive amounts from his prison funds. Specifically, Gray argued that the institution improperly deducted amounts for restitution from both his prison wages and “gift monies” that he received while in prison, in excess of a 25% cap that he asserted the judgment placed on deductions from his prison wages only. I affirm, because the amended judgment of conviction on its face defeats Gray’s argument.
