WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Darryl P. Benson

Case No.: 2017AP1353-CR

Officials: Kessler, P.J., Brennan and Dugan, JJ.

Focus: Sentence Modification

Darryl P. Benson, pro se, appeals from an order of the circuit court that denied his “motion to modify sentence and presentence investigation report based upon ‘new factors’” and his request for a hearing to correct the presentence investigation report (PSI). The circuit court concluded the motion was procedurally barred under State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994), and that, alternatively, there was no basis for relief. We affirm, using slightly different grounds than the circuit court.
