Description
1 Steven A. Limehouse appeals from related orders summarily denying his motions for post-conviction relief and for reconsideration. The issue is whether Limehouses belated realization that he could have sought to apply State v. Dubose, 2005 WI 126, 33, 285 Wis. 2d 143, 699 N.W.2d 582, on direct appeal constitutes a sufficient reason for failing to previously raise Duboses potential applicability while representing himself on direct appeal. We conclude that Limehouses failure to "foresee" or timely raise the potential applicability of Dubose prior to his judgment becoming final is not a sufficient reason to circumvent the general rule that collateral review should not be used to retroactively apply a new rule that was not expressly intended to apply retroactively. Therefore, we affirm.
