Marvin SIMELTON, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Matthew J. FRANK, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided May 1, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel D. Resheter, Jr. (argued), Milwaukee, WI, for Petitioner-Appellant.

William L. Ganser (argued), Katherine L. Tripp, Office of the Attorney General Wisconsin Department of Justice, Madison, WI, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before BAUER, POSNER, and KANNE, Circuit Judges.


KANNE, Circuit Judge.

Marvin Simelton pled guilty to two charges of sexual assault. After unsuccessfully pursuing his state court remedies, he filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the district court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. In a thorough opinion, the magistrate judge denied the writ. Simelton presents us with a single issue for review: whether his guilty plea was entered into knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily. We affirm.
