WI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Jordan Alexander Lickes
Case No.: 2019AP1272-CR
Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Blanchard, and Nashold, JJ.
Focus: Sentencing Guidelines – Expungement
The State appeals a circuit court order expunging three of Jordan Lickes’ convictions. The State argues that, because Lickes had not “satisfied the conditions of [his] probation,” he was not entitled to expungement under WIS. STAT. § 973.015 and State v. Ozuna, 2017 WI 64, ¶¶12-13, 376 Wis. 2d 1, 898 N.W.2d 20. Lickes argues that he has satisfied his “conditions of probation” and that, once the circuit court received a certificate of discharge from the Department of Corrections (“DOC”), expungement was self-executing under State v. Hemp, 2014 WI 129, 359 Wis. 2d 320, 856 N.W.2d 811. We agree with the State and reverse the circuit court’s order.
