Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Justin L. Douglas

Case No.: 2017AP707–CR

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

Focus: Postconviction Motion Denied

Justin Douglas appeals a judgment, entered upon his no-contest pleas, convicting him of burglary of a building or dwelling and theft of movable property with special facts, both counts as party to a crime. Douglas also appeals the order denying his postconviction motion for resentencing or plea withdrawal. Douglas argues the circuit court erred by denying his postconviction motion without an evidentiary hearing. We agree. Therefore, we reverse the order and remand the matter to the circuit court with directions to hold a hearing.
