WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Raymond E. Woods
Case No.: 2017AP974
Officials: Kessler, P.J., Brash and Dugan, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Raymond E. Woods, pro se, appeals the circuit court’s order denying his postconviction motion brought pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2015-16). He also appeals the circuit court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. Woods argues that the circuit court erred by rejecting his argument that he received ineffective assistance of appellate counsel without first holding a hearing on his claim. Woods also argues that he is entitled to a new trial in the interests of justice. We reject these arguments. Accordingly, we affirm.
