Case No. 94-2001-CR.

APPEAL from a judgment of the circuit court for Rock County: J. RICHARD LONG, Judge. Affirmed.

Before Eich, C.J., Dykman and Sundby, JJ.


Jimmy Carter appeals from a judgment on a felony conviction. On postconviction motion, he successfully argued that his original presentence investigation report contained an inaccurate psychological evaluation. At resentencing, the trial court refused to consider favorable information about Carter's conduct and circumstances since the original sentencing. Carter received the identical sentence as before, resulting in this appeal. He contends that on resentencing the trial court should have considered his newly developed information. We disagree and therefore affirm.

In State v. Solles , 169 Wis.2d 566, 572, 485 N.W.2d 457, 460 (Ct.App. 1992), we held that the resentencing court must take into account only the circumstances existing at the time of the original sentencing. To reverse here, we must conclude that we have the authority to overrule Solles , and that Solles was wrongly decided. We need not reach the first question because we believe that Solles was correctly decided. We adopt the analysis presented in Solles and affirm on that basis.

By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
