The following documents pertain to the first of two appeals that Luke Wenke filed throughout the duration of his first federal cyberstalking case and subsequent probation violation charges. Wenke’s public defender filed this appeal in August 2023 after the district court judge found him guilty of violating the conditions of his supervised release by contacting victims he was banned from communicating with.
Less than three months later, Wenke signed a motion to withdraw the appeal following a conversation with his public defender at the time. In the motion, the attorney noted that he had warned Wenke of his plan to try withdrawing from the case unless Wenke dropped the appeal, based on the alleged frivolous nature of the defendant’s claims.
In my opinion, it was already no secret that Wenke was willing to waste as many public resources as the authorities would allow in his pursuit of an unjustified legal outcome in his favor. And while only he can say whether he truly believed in his arguments or simply wanted to be difficult, his tendency to pursue frivolous litigation is alive and well as evidenced by his ongoing attempt to sue me over blatant lies, including his false claim that I work for the federal government.
