WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Howard Edward Wells

Case No.: 2022AP000572-CR

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

Focus: Suppression of Evidence

Wells, pro se, appeals from a judgment convicting him of possession of a firearm by a felon. Wells raises a series of issues related to motions he filed seeking to dismiss the complaint and to suppress evidence. The appeals court concludes that the issues Wells attempts to raise on appeal related to the complaint are procedurally barred by his entry of a no-contest plea; and rejects Wells’ remaining arguments challenging the circuit court’s suppression ruling and affirm the judgment of conviction, as the lower court adequately explained its decision.

Affirmed.

Decided 10/17/23
