WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jeffrey S. Roeshling

Case No.: 2016AP35-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Postconviction Motion Denied – Machner Hearing

Jeffrey Roehling appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of felony intimidation of a witness and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Roehling argues the circuit court erred by denying his request to conduct a Machner hearing. We conclude Roehling’s postconviction motion presented sufficient nonconclusory factual allegations that, if proven, would establish Roehling is entitled to relief. Therefore, we reverse the order and remand to the circuit court with directions to conduct a Machner hearing.
