By: Derek Hawkins//April 16, 2019//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Praveen Kharb
Case No.: 2018AP584-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Praveen Kharb appeals a judgment convicting him of one count of first-degree sexual assault of a child under age thirteen and seven counts of possession of child pornography. He also appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Kharb argues he is entitled to withdraw his no contest pleas because a provision of his plea agreement concerning the waiver of his right to appeal was ambiguous; because the circuit court did not conduct an adequate colloquy regarding the appellate waiver provision; and because his trial attorneys were ineffective by failing to adequately explain the appellate waiver provision. In the alternative, Kharb argues either sentence modification or resentencing is warranted based on errors in the presentence investigation report (PSI). We reject Kharb’s arguments and affirm.
