STATE
OF WISCONSIN IN COURT OF
APPEALS
DISTRICT IV
STATE OF WISCONSIN EX
REL.
ROBERT C. BEESE,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
GERALD BERGE, WARDEN,
Defendant-Respondent.
APPEAL from an order of
the circuit court for Columbia County:
LEWIS W. CHARLES, Judge. Affirmed.
Before Eich, C.J.,
Sundby and Vergeront, JJ.
PER
CURIAM. Robert C. Beese appeals from an order denying his
petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
We affirm.
Beese was convicted of
forgery and sentenced to a prison term of six years in August 1986. Since then, he has been placed on parole and
then revoked several times. Most recently,
his parole was revoked in April 1994.
Beese argues that the
time he has spent on parole must be credited toward his sentence. We reject the argument. The cases he cites are based on old
statutes. Under the current statute,
§ 302.11(7)(a), Stats., a
parolee may be returned to prison for "the entire sentence, less time served
in custody prior to parole." This
language applies to crimes, such as Beese's, which were committed on or after
June 1, 1984. See 1983 Wis. Act
528, §§ 6 and 29.
Beese also appears to
argue that his parole was revoked without sufficient explanation. The record shows that he was provided an
adequate explanation for the revocation decisions.
By the Court.—Order
affirmed.
This
opinion will not be published. See
Rule 809.23(1)(b)5, Stats.
