Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

Decided September 13, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

On behalf of the defendant-appellant, the cause was submitted on the briefs of Steven P. Weiss, assistant state public defender of Madison.

On behalf of the plaintiff-respondent, the cause was submitted on the brief of Donald J. Hanaway, attorney general and Jerome S. Schmidt, assistant attorney general of Madison.

Before Brown, P.J., Scott, J., and Robert J. Parins, Reserve Judge.


BROWN, P.J.

Steven J. Shanks appeals his conviction on the grounds that his motion to withdraw a guilty plea, brought prior to sentencing, was improperly denied. We reverse and remand, holding that Shanks offered fair and just reasons for withdrawal, that the reasons were supported by the record and that the motion therefore should have been granted. We do not address Shanks' alternative grounds for relief.
