WI Court of Appeals – District II
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jodi J. Lux
Case No.: 2018AP338-CR
Officials: NEUBAUER, C.J.
Focus: OWI – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Jodi J. Lux appeals from a judgment convicting her of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) (third offense) and an order denying her postconviction motion in which she asserted her trial counsel was ineffective for having failed to challenge the police officer’s warrantless search of her residence. Because we conclude the search was conducted as part of the officer’s community caretaker function, it was lawful and therefore her ineffective assistance of counsel claim fails. We affirm.
