State v. Michael A. Imbruglia, 2011AP1373-CR, District 2, 2/8/12
court of appeals decision (1-judge, not for publication); for Imbruglia: Rick Ramirez; case activity
Issue Preclusion – OWI Enhancer
In circuit court, Imbruglia successfully challenged use of a Colorado conviction as an OWI enhancer (on the ground that statute isn’t “substantially similar” to Wisconsin’s). However, after another OWI arrest the very next day, the State reasserted that same conviction to enhance the new charge. Applying the multi-factor test for issue preclusion, Paige K.B. v. Steven G.B., 226 Wis. 2d 210, 594 N.W.2d 370 (1999), the court of appeals holds that on balance the first ruling didn’t preclude enhancement with the Colorado conviction. Although 3 of the 5 factors weigh in favor of preclusion, the other factors are more decisive:
¶13 The second factor, whether the issue is a question of law involving distinct claims or intervening shifts in the law, weighs against issue preclusion. In the intervening time since Judge Malloy’s decision in Ozaukee I that the Colorado conviction is not countable as a prior conviction, recent decisions have signaled a shift in the law to cast a wider net when determining what out-of-state prior convictions are countable.
