Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit February 22, 2001, 00-3072 (Keith S. Betts v. Jon E. Litscher)

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

After his conviction in state court for armed robbery, Keith Betts told the court that he wanted to appeal. Elizabeth Stephens, the assistant public defender assigned to represent him under Wis. Stat. § 809.80, eventually decided that pursuing the appeal would be frivolous.
