J.G.T.
You are hereby notified that the Court has entered the following opinion and order:
2026AP757-CRNM State of Wisconsin v. J.G.T. (L.C. # 2025CF956)
Before Kloppenburg, Nashold, Taylor, JJ.
Summary disposition orders may not be cited in any court of this state as precedent or
authority, except for the limited purposes specified in WIS. STAT. RULE 809.23(3).
Attorney Kyle Minden, appointed counsel for J.G.T., has filed a no-merit report pursuant
to WIS. STAT. RULE 809.109(4) (2023-24).1 Counsel provided J.G.T. with a copy of the report,
and both counsel and this court advised him of his right to file a response. J.G.T. has not
responded. We conclude that these cases are appropriate for summary disposition. See WIS.
STAT. RULE 809.21. After an independent review of the record, we conclude that the record does
not show arguable merit to any issue that could be raised on appeal.
1 All references to the Wisconsin Statutes are to the 2023-24 version.

No. 2026AP757-CRNM
2
J.G.T. was found incompetent to proceed in this criminal case and committed for
treatment in July 2025. In February 2026, the Department of Health Services moved for
involuntary medication to treat to competency. The circuit court held a hearing on the motion
and ordered involuntary administration of medications.
The no-merit report correctly identifies the factors that the State must prove under Sell v.
United States, 539 U.S. 166 (2003), in addition to proving that the defendant is not competent to
refuse medication under the standard provided in WIS. STAT. § 971.14(3)(dm). The no-merit
report accurately describes the evidence presented and concludes that there is no arguable basis
to claim that any of the findings were clearly erroneous. We agree that there is no arguable merit
to such a claim.
Our review of the record has found no other issue with arguable merit.
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the February 10, 2026, order of commitment for treatment is
summarily affirmed. See WIS. STAT. RULE 809.21.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Attorney Minden is relieved of further representation
of J.G.T. in this matter.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this summary disposition order will not be published.
