State v. Tommie Thames, 2005 WI App 101
Pro se
Issue/Holding:
¶12 We conclude that Thames’s arguments are procedurally barred. Thames has raised essentially the same issues he raised in his direct appeal and in his 1997 Wis. Stat. § 974.06 motion. The fact that Thames’s appeal of the trial court’s order denying his 1997 § 974.06 motion was dismissed pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 809.83(2) (1997-98) [6] does not change the result. When no appeal is taken, all provisions of a judgment, and the findings and conclusions upon which it is based, are conclusive and binding upon all parties to the litigation. Kriesel v. Kriesel, 35 Wis. 2d 134, 138, 150 N.W.2d 416 (1967). The result is the same where, as here, a party filed a notice of appeal but failed to file a brief after repeated extensions, resulting in a dismissal of the appeal pursuant to § 809.83(2). [7]
