WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Randall A. Hungerford

Case No.: 2017AP1791-CR; 2017AP1792-CR; 2017AP1793-CR

Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.

Focus: Plea Withdrawal

He seeks to return this case to a presentence status so that he may file a motion for plea withdrawal under the “fair and just reason” standard. In the alternative, he argues plea withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice. We conclude Hungerford’s postplea expressions of confusion regarding the charges to which he had pled do not, under the circumstances here, support either a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel or a claim for postsentence plea withdrawal under a manifest injustice standard. Accordingly, we affirm.
