The petitioner, Martin R. Craddock, appeals as of right from the Davidson County Criminal Court’s denial of habeas corpus relief. He is presently in the custody of the Department of Correction serving a Range I sentence of ten years for his conviction of aggravated sexual battery in 1995. He contends that he received ineffective assistance of counsel and that the judgment entered against him is void because the indictment for aggravated sexual battery fails to allege the mens rea for the offense. We affirm the dismissal of the petition.

Jimmy Jones, Jr. vs. State of Tennessee
01C01-9804-CR-00162
The appellant, Jimmy Jones, Jr., appeals the dismissal of his pro se motion to reopen post-conviction petition or in the alternative a petition for habeas corpus relief by the Sumner County Criminal Court. In December, 1987, the appellant was convicted by a Sumner County jury on two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary. The appellant received concurrent Range II sentences of forty-five years for the armed robbery convictions and fourteen years for the burglary conviction to run consecutively. On direct appeal, the appellant alleged trial errors as to (1) the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdicts, (2) whether the trial court erred in limiting production of police reports, and (3) whether his effective sentence of fifty-nine years was excessive. In January, 1989, this court affirmed the judgment of the trial court in State v. Jimmy Jones, Jr., Sumner County No. 88-58-III (Tenn. Crim. App., Nashville, January 11, 1989) per. app. denied (Tenn. 1989).

State of Tennessee v. Darrell Wentzel
01C01-9705-CC-00193
On December 6, 1996, a W illiamson County jury convicted Appellant, Darrell Wentzel, of two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated burglary, and one count of aggravated kidnapping. After a sentencing hearing on January 31, 1997, Appellant was sentenced to twelve years for each count of aggravated robbery, twelve years for aggravated kidnapping, and six years for aggravated burglary, with all sentenc es to be served concurrently. On February 18, 1997, Appellant filed a motion for judgment of acquittal or, in the alternative, a motion for a new trial, claiming that the evidence was insufficient for a conviction, that the aggravating kidnapping conviction should be dismissed because it was incidental to the robbery, that several of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings were erroneous, and that the trial court had misapplied enhancement factors to arrive at maximum sentences on all four convictions. The trial court denied the motion. Appellant challenges both his convictions and his sentence, raising the following issues: 1) whether the trial court comm itted plain error by adm itting the in-court identification of the Appellant by Mary Ethel Veach; 2) whether there was sufficient evidence to corroborate the accomplice testimony of Edward Mitchem; 3) whether Appellant’s convictions for two counts of aggravated robbery constituted dou ble jeopardy; 4) whether the trial court correctly rejected Appellant’s argument that he could not be convicted of aggravated kidnapping because it was only incidental to the robbery; 5) whether the trial court correctly sentenced the Appellant. After a review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
