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 Most recently, his parole was revoked in April 1994.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Beese also appears to argue that his parole was revoked without sufficient explanation.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This opinion will not be published.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.
