WI Court of Appeals – District III

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Huandra J. Murray

Case No.: 2021AP001243

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

Focus: Postconviction Relief-Brady Claim

The State charged Murray with multiple crimes based on allegations that he had attacked and sexually assaulted a woman with whom he lived and shared a child.

Murray, pro se, appeals an order denying his motion for postconviction relief and a subsequent order denying his motion for reconsideration. Murray argues that the circuit court erred by: (1) concluding he had failed to establish a Brady violation; and (2) failing to hold the State in contempt for its alleged violation of a postconviction discovery order.

The appeals court concludes that Murray’s Brady claim is procedurally barred, and further concluded that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion by declining to hold the State in contempt.

Affirmed.
