WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Garrion L. Smith
Case No.: 2017AP2462-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Garrion Smith appeals an amended judgment of conviction for aggravated battery and for fourth-offense operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant. He also appeals an order that denied in part his motion for postconviction relief. Smith contends he was denied his constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel when his trial attorney failed to file a motion for presentence plea withdrawal on his behalf. We disagree and affirm.
