Larry J. Noel v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Larry J. Noel, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief, raising the following four issues on appeal: (1) whether his pretrial transfer of custody to the Department of Correction subjected him to double jeopardy and violated his due process rights; (2) whether he was incompetent to stand trial due to a stroke he suffered less than a month prior to trial; (3) whether he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at trial and on appeal; and (4) whether the post-conviction court erred by denying his motion for a continuance due to the unavailability of witnesses. Following our review, we affirm the denial of the petition for post-conviction relief.
