WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin ex rel. Michael Anthony Turner v. Cathy Jess

Case No.: 2019AP1738

Officials: Fitzpatrick, P.J., Kloppenburg, and Nashold, JJ.

Focus: Writ of Certiorari – Prison Disciplinary Proceedings 

Michael Anthony Turner, pro se, appeals the circuit court’s order dismissing his petition for a writ of certiorari. Turner also appeals the court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration. Turner’s appellate briefing raises a number of issues relating to prison disciplinary proceedings and internal inmate complaints that he filed. We conclude that our review is limited to the matters raised in Turner’s inmate complaint OSCI-2018- 12461, and we uphold the agency decision dismissing that complaint. Accordingly, we affirm the circuit court.
