Text: An appeal in a criminal case may be taken from a final judgment or an order in the nature of a final judgment. Babbitt v. State (1964), 23 Wis. 2d 446, 127 N. W. 2d 405; State v. Koopman (1967), 34 Wis. 2d 204, 148 N. W. 2d 671. This court has recently held that a denial of a motion for leave to withdraw a plea of guilty is an order in the nature of a final judgment. Shavie v. State (1970), 49 Wis. 2d 379, 182 N. W. 2d 505; Young v. State (1970), 49 Wis. 2d 361, 182 N. W. 2d 262; and Johnson v. State (1970), 49 Wis. 2d 455, 182 N. W. 2d 502. Therefore, the order is appealable.
