Michael Ricardo Martin v. State of Tennessee

This matter is before the Court upon the State’s motion to affirm the judgment of the trial court by memorandum opinion pursuant to Rule 20 of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.  The Petitioner, Michael Ricardo Martin, appeals the trial court’s dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus.  On appeal, the Petitioner contends that his petition was erroneously transferred to the Criminal Court for Davidson County without a judgment entered, and, thus, the Petitioner was deprived of his right to object to the transfer.  Upon a review of the record, we agree that the lower court was correct that the Petitioner is not entitled to relief.  This case meets the criteria for affirmance pursuant to Rule 20 of the Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.  Accordingly, the State’s motion is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
