People v. Deckert

Defendant, who entered a blind plea to one count of first-degree murder, appealed from her sentence, arguing that the trial court should have construed her pro se notice of appeal as a post-plea motion. The appellate court dismissed the appeal, noting that it was the proper outcome where the defendant did not file a post-plea motion pursuant to SCR 604(d) and instead filed a notice of appeal. (BRENNAN and PETERSON, concurring)
