State v. Delaney

Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

1Opinion of the CourtNettesheim, J.

¶ 1. Wayne Delaney appeals pro se from an order denying his motion for sentence modification. He raises an argument that we are seeing with increasing frequency of late: that a 1994 letter from then Wisconsin Governor Tommy G. Thompson to the Department of Corrections (DOC) regarding the mandatory release of violent offenders negatively affected his parole eligibility and therefore constitutes a new factor requiring resentencing. We agree with the trial court that Delaney did not clearly and convincingly establish that the Thompson letter constitutes a new factor. We affirm the order.
