WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Justice G. Armstead

Case No.: 2017AP1586-CR

Officials: DUGAN, J.

Focus: Postdisposition Motion for Relief Denied

Justice G. Armstead appeals an order denying his motion for postdisposition relief. In his motion, Armstead argued that neither the psychiatric opinion evidence nor the trial court’s reasoning applied the proper legal standard for ordering involuntary medication.

Accordingly, we dismiss Armstead’s appeal.
