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. Â§ 893.735(2) (1997-98). Collins contends that the circuit court wrongly interpreted Â§ 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 Â§ 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.
