As usual, we bring you coverage of COA’s orders regarding publication, this time for April, May and June.
In April, COA published one case relevant to our practice, State v. Jody William Solom, 2025 WI App 25. The case distinguishes an oft-cited recent defense win, Richey, and holds that officers had reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop.
In May, COA published S.G. v. Wisconsin DCF, 2025 WI App 32. The case is a notable defense win in a niche practice area (CHIPS appeals) which holds that corporation counsel is not a party under § 48.13 when they are not a petitioner.
And in June, COA published three cases:
- State v. Roger A. Minck, 2025 WI App 35, interpreting the elements of the “hiding a corpse” statute;
- State v. Daniel J. Rejholec, 2025 WI App 36, holding that allocution standards are admissible following plea withdrawal; and
- Outagamie County v. M.J.B., 2025 WI App 37, holding that a circuit court loses competency in a commitment action when the examiners’ reports are not “accessible” to counsel 48 hours before the final hearing.
