WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. R.D.S., et al.
Case No.: 2017AP1770
Officials: BRASH, J.
Focus: Termination of Parental Rights
B.D.S. appeals an order of the trial court terminating his parental rights of J.S., as well as an order denying his postdispositional motion to withdraw his no contest plea. In that motion and in this appeal, B.D.S. argues that he should be permitted to withdraw his no contest plea because he did not understand the consequences of the plea, and thus it was not knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. He further argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion without an evidentiary hearing. We affirm.
