State v. Mosley

In State v. Mosley, 201 Wis. 2d 36, 547 N.W.2d 806 (Ct. App. 1996), a defendant's request for out-of-state counsel was granted. See 201 Wis. 2d at 42-43. After his conviction, the defendant appealed, arguing in relevant part that the trial court misused its discretion by initially permitting the representation. See id. at 45. Alternatively, the defendant contended that the trial court misused its discretion by not removing the nonresident attorney from the case. See 201 Wis. 2d at 48. Consistent with SCR 10.03(4), the Court held that the trial court did not "misuse its discretion" by either granting the defendant's request to be represented by out-of-state counsel or allowing counsel to continue representing the defendant. See id. at 49.
