WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Caleb J. Hawley
Case No.: 2018AP1601-CR
Officials: FITZPATRICK, J.
Focus: Sentence Credit
Caleb Hawley appeals a judgment of conviction of the Dodge County Circuit Court denying sentence credit. In this case, the circuit court imposed a sentence to run consecutive to jail time that Hawley was then serving as a condition of probation in Dane County. Hawley argues that the circuit court lacked authority to stay the sentence so that it would run consecutive to the Dane County conditional jail time, and he requests sentence credit for this conviction. Because the circuit court lacked authority to impose a sentence consecutive to Hawley’s jail time as a condition of probation and the appropriate remedy is resentencing, I reverse and remand with directions.
