WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Paul Burroughs
Case No.: 2015AP2521-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Unrelated Appeal – Supplemental Postconviction Relief
Paul Burroughs, pro se, appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. The issues Burroughs raises on appeal, however, generally do not relate to the circuit court’s determinations as to any matters raised in his postconviction motion. Rather, Burroughs largely seeks relief based on issues raised in a “supplemental” postconviction motion, filed after the circuit court had orally denied relief on Burroughs’ original claims but before a written order to that effect had been entered. Applying the procedural bar articulated in State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994), we conclude Burroughs is not entitled to relief, and we affirm.
