WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Alejandro Juan Gutierrez

Case No.: 2020AP498-CR; 2020AP499-CR; 2020AP500-CR; 2020AP501-CR

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

Focus: Plea Colloquy

Alejandro Gutierrez appeals judgments, entered upon his no-contest pleas, convicting him of child enticement; third-degree sexual assault; strangulation and suffocation; false imprisonment; burglary of a dwelling; and two counts of felony bail jumping, with both the false imprisonment and burglary counts as party to a crime. He also appeals the order denying his motion for postconviction relief. Gutierrez argues he is entitled to plea withdrawal because a defective plea colloquy rendered his pleas unknowing, unintelligent, and involuntary. We affirm the judgments and order.
