Joseph Beaucamp v. Board of Paroles, et al.

M1998-00960-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Board of Paroles over the prisoner's right to sentence credits against his Tennessee conviction for time served in Arkansas penal institutions. After the Board declined to give him credit for this time, the prisoner filed a petition for common-law writ of certiorari in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Board had acted illegally by refusing to abide by the terms of his Arkansas sentence. The trial court dismissed the petition, and the prisoner has appealed. We affirm the dismissal of the petition because Tennessee is not bound by the terms of the criminal sentences imposed by the courts of Arkansas.
