WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Terry Terrell Anderson
Case No.: 2017AP2165-CR
Officials: DUGAN, J.
Focus: Sentence Credit
Terry Terrell Anderson pro se appeals postconviction orders entered in this action. After entering a guilty plea in this case, Anderson was convicted of misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor disorderly conduct, both as a habitual criminality repeater. At sentencing, the trial court granted Anderson accrued sentence credit, although the trial court was aware that Anderson faced revocation proceedings in a prior action, the 4230 action. The Wisconsin Department of Corrections (DOC) subsequently informed the trial court that such credit was applied on April 4, 2017, to Anderson’s sentence in the 4230 action because his extended supervision was revoked and he was reconfined on the original sentence. As a result, the trial court entered an order amending the judgment of conviction to eliminate the sentence credit. Anderson then filed a motion for reconsideration in this action. The reconsideration court denied the motion.
On appeal, Anderson asserts that (1) he was entitled to the sentence credit, (2) he was not given dual sentence credit, (3) misapplication of the law deprived him of his sentence credit, and (4) the error was not harmless. We disagree and, therefore, affirm.
