Description
Leonard Collins appeals from an order dismissing his certiorari petition because he failed to commence his action within forty-five days of the date of the government decision as required by Wis. Stat. § 893.735(2) (1997-98). Collins contends that the circuit court wrongly interpreted § 893.735 because it only applies to certiorari actions made "on behalf of a prisoner," not by the prisoner himself or herself. We reject Collinss narrow reading of the law and conclude that any petition for writ of certiorari under § 893.735 must be made within forty-five days of the governments decision, regardless of whether the petition is filed by the prisoner or by his or her counsel. We therefore affirm the circuit courts order.
