STATE of Wisconsin, Plaintiff–Respondent, v. Matthew W.S. DORMAN, Defendant–Appellant.
Appeal from an order of the circuit court for Dane County: Stephen E. Ehlke, Judge. Affirmed.
Before LUNDSTEN, SHERMAN and KLOPPENBURG, JJ. ¶ 1 PER CURIAM.
Matthew Dorman appeals an order denying his motion for a competency evaluation pursuant to State v. Debra A.E., 188 Wis.2d 111, 523 N.W.2d 727 (1994). He argues that: (1) the circuit court's decision was improperly based on the cost of conducting the evaluation; (2) the finding that Dorman was competent is clearly erroneous because it ignored Dorman's testimony and focused on improper facts; and (3) the court erroneously exercised its discretion because it failed to determine whether Dorman understood the proceedings. We reject these arguments, and affirm the order.
