WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: Jackson County v. Steven John Peplinski

Case No.: 2019AP171

Officials: FITZPATRICK, J.

Focus: Court Error – Motion for Reconsideration

Steven Peplinski appeals from a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for reconsideration entered by the Jackson County Circuit Court. A jury found Peplinski guilty of disorderly conduct in violation of a Jackson County ordinance. Peplinski contends that the circuit court erred by denying his motions for a continuance. Additionally, Peplinski claims that he was denied a fair trial because the circuit court prevented him from introducing certain evidence and because his indigent status prevented him from subpoenaing witnesses. Peplinski further contends that the circuit court erred by denying his motion for reconsideration in which he alleges that one of the witnesses at trial perjured himself. Because I conclude that each argument advanced by Peplinski is undeveloped or lacks any merit, I affirm the judgment of conviction and the order denying Peplinski’s motion for reconsideration.
