WI Court of Appeals – District I
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Howard D. Davis
Case No.: 2020AP910
Officials: Brash, C.J., Donald, P.J., and Dugan, J.
Focus: Postconviction Relief – Ineffective Assistance of Counsel
Howard D. Davis, pro se, appeals the order of the trial court denying his motion filed pursuant to WIS. STAT. § 974.06 (2019-20). Davis argues that his postconviction counsel was ineffective for failing to raise claims, or failing to adequately argue claims that were raised, in his initial postconviction motion. We, however, conclude that all of Davis’s claims are procedurally barred, and therefore we affirm the order of the trial court denying his § 974.06 motion.
