Plea Withdrawal

WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Craig L. Miller

Case No.: 2018AP2161-CR

Officials: FITZPATRICK, J.

Focus: Plea Withdrawal

Craig Miller appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying postconviction relief entered by the Dane County Circuit Court. Miller was convicted of one count of disorderly conduct as a domestic abuse incident, and as a repeater, pursuant to his guilty plea to that charge. Miller filed a postconviction motion to withdraw his plea alleging that the plea was not entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. Following an evidentiary hearing, the circuit court denied Miller’s postconviction motion. The circuit court’s order is affirmed based on my conclusion that Miller has failed to show that his plea was unknowing, unintelligent, and involuntary.
