WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Michael A. Roberts

Case No.: 2017AP1276-CR

Officials: Kessler, Brash and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Michael A. Roberts appeals from a judgment of conviction for one count of third-degree sexual assault, contrary to WIS. STAT. § 940.225(3) (2013-14). Roberts also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion, which alleged that Roberts was entitled to a new trial because his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance concerning his cross-examination of a detective and the victim. We conclude at conference that this matter is appropriate for summary disposition. See WIS. STAT. RULE 809.21(1). We summarily affirm the judgment and the order.
