Description
1 Norman D. Stapleton appeals pro se from a circuit court order denying a post-conviction motion in which he ostensibly sought sentence modification. Stapleton argued that the circuit court had applied the wrong standards when it imposed sentence. In denying the motion, the circuit court reasoned that Stapletons claim was not cognizable in a motion for sentence modification and so treated the motion as one for post-conviction relief under WIS. STAT.974.06. We agree with the circuit courts reasoning and its ultimate conclusion that Stapletons motion was barred by State v. Escalona-Naranjo, 185 Wis. 2d 168, 184-85, 517 N.W.2d 157 (1994) (defendant barred from raising in post-conviction motion claims that could have been raised in prior post-conviction and appellate proceedings, unless defendant articulates a sufficient reason for that failure). We therefore affirm the circuit courts order.
