WI Court of Appeals – District III
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Bernard A. Fish, Sr.,
Case No.: 2018AP962-CR
Officials: Stark, P.J., Hruz and Seidl, JJ.
Focus: Plea Withdrawal
Bernard Fish, Sr., appeals from both a judgment of conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm and the denial of his postconviction motion. Fish claims he is entitled to plea withdrawal because the circuit court failed to establish a factual basis for his plea. He also argues the court did not make clear at the plea hearing the difference between a concurrent sentence and a consecutive sentence, and therefore his plea was not knowing, intelligent and voluntary. We reject Fish’s arguments and affirm.
