No. 95-3235-CR
STATE
OF WISCONSIN IN COURT OF
APPEALS
DISTRICT I
STATE OF WISCONSIN,
Plaintiff-Respondent,
v.
RANDY RIVERA, JR.,
Defendant-Appellant.
APPEAL from an order of
the circuit court for Milwaukee County:
MAXINE A. WHITE, Judge. Affirmed.
Before Wedemeyer, P.J.,
Fine and Schudson, JJ.
PER
CURIAM. Randy Rivera, Jr., pro se, appeals from an
order denying his motion to vacate his judgment of conviction for second-degree
sexual assault. See §
940.225(2)(a), Stats. Rivera argues that the trial court lacked
personal jurisdiction because the trial court failed to endorse the complaint
with a finding of probable cause and that he was improperly denied a probable
cause determination within forty-eight hours of his arrest. We affirm.
Rivera was arrested on
March 4, 1995. On March 7, 1995, Rivera
was charged with second-degree sexual assault, kidnapping, and burglary. On March 8, 1995, Rivera made his initial
appearance. The trial court reviewed
the complaint and found probable cause.
Rivera pled guilty to the charge of second-degree sexual assault in
exchange for the dismissal of the remaining counts and was sentenced to
prison. Subsequently, Rivera filed a
motion to vacate the judgment, arguing that the trial court lacked personal
jurisdiction because it had not endorsed a finding of probable cause on the
complaint. The trial court denied
Rivera's motion.
Rivera argues that the
trial court lacked personal jurisdiction because it failed to endorse the
complaint. Rivera, however, entered his
guilty plea without raising any objection regarding the complaint. If there was any defect in the complaint, it
was thereby waived. See Galloway
v. State, 32 Wis.2d 414, 418, 145 N.W.2d 761, 762–763 (1966) (a defect
in the issuance of a complaint goes to jurisdiction over the person and an
objection thereto is waived if not raised before pleading to the complaint).
Rivera also argues that
he was improperly denied a probable cause hearing within forty-eight hours of
his arrest. See County of
Riverside v. McLaughlin, 500 U.S. 44, 54-60 (1991). In State v. Aniton, 183 Wis.2d
125, 515 N.W.2d 302 (Ct. App. 1994), this court determined that a defendant's guilty
plea waived his right to challenge all nonjurisdictional defects, including Riverside
violations. Id., 183
Wis.2d at 128, 515 N.W.2d at 303.
Rivera, therefore, waived his right to challenge the alleged Riverside
violation when he pled guilty.
By the Court.—Order
affirmed.
