WI Court of Appeals – District I

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Michael Renardo Jackson

Case No.: 2018AP252-CR

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

Focus: Ineffective Assistance of Counsel

Michael Renardo Jackson appeals from a judgment, entered upon his guilty plea, convicting him of one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child. He also appeals from an order denying his postconviction motion for plea withdrawal. Jackson complains that his plea was not knowing, intelligent, and voluntary because of ineffective assistance from trial counsel. The circuit court denied the postconviction motion without a hearing, concluding the allegations of prejudice were insufficient to warrant a Machner hearing. We agree with the circuit court and affirm the judgment and order.
