You are hereby notified that the Court has entered the following opinion and order:
2024AP2549-CRNM State of Wisconsin v. Jorge M. Lopeztegui, Jr.
(L.C. # 2020CF1343)
Before Donald, P.J., Geenen, and Petrashek, 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).
Jorge M. Lopeztegui, Jr., by appellate counsel, is pursuing an appeal under the no-merit
procedures set forth in WIS. STAT. RULE 809.32 (2023-24).1 Appellate counsel now moves to
voluntarily dismiss this appeal and extend the deadline for filing a postconviction motion. An
appeal under RULE 809.32 is appropriate only if counsel is convinced that further postconviction
proceedings would be wholly frivolous. See McCoy v. Court of Appeals, 486 U.S. 429, 437
(1988). Accordingly, the court will grant the relief requested.

No. 2024AP2549-CRNM
2
IT IS ORDERED that the no-merit report is rejected and this appeal is dismissed without
prejudice. See WIS. STAT. RULE 809.18(1).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the deadline for Lopeztegui to file a postconviction
motion or notice of appeal pursuant to WIS. STAT. RULE 809.30, is extended through the date
sixty days after the date of this order. See WIS. STAT. RULE 809.82(2)(a).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this summary disposition order will not be published.
