WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Amanda L. Longley
Case No.: 2017AP659-CR
Officials: LUNDSTEN,P.J.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Amanda Longley appeals the circuit court’s judgment convicting her of one count of disorderly conduct involving domestic abuse and one count of misdemeanor battery. Longley also appeals the court’s order denying postconviction relief. Longley seeks plea withdrawal. Her request for plea withdrawal is based on the argument that case law subsequent to State v. Kosina, 226 Wis. 2d 482, 595 N.W.2d 464 (Ct. App. 1999), requires reconsideration of the Kosina holding that a firearms possession prohibition is a collateral consequence of a plea that defense counsel need not discuss with a defendant. For the reasons below, I reject this argument and affirm.
