State vs. Anthony Jerome Stokes

E1999-00953-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant entered guilty pleas in 1995 to one count of murder in the first degree and one count of murder in the second degree, the sentences to be served consecutively. In 1997, he testified as a prosecution witness at the trial of a co-defendant in the homicide cases. In 1999, he filed a petition to enforce an alleged agreement with the State that he would be resentenced to concurrent sentences in exchange for this testimony. The trial court denied the petition and he timely appealed. Based upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The state has filed a motion requesting that this court affirm the action of the trial court pursuant to Rule 20, Tenn. Ct. Crim. App. R. The petition fails to present a cognizable claim for habeas corpus relief. Accordingly, the state's motion is granted and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Ricky Lee Beamon vs. State

E1999-00614-CCA-R3-CD
This appeal arises from the trial court's denial of the petitioner's post-conviction petition. On December 1, 1996, the petitioner was found guilty by a Hamilton County jury of aggravated burglary and theft over $500. The convictions were affirmed on appeal. On August 4, 1997, the petitioner filed a pro se petition for post-conviction relief, which was denied by the trial court after an evidentiary hearing. The petitioner now appeals the denial of his petition. After careful review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Janice F. Roberts vs. Stevie D. Davis, et al

M2000-01974-COA-R3-CV
On May 17, 1995, Plaintiff Janice Roberts and her husband Max Nichols were involved in an automobile accident with the Defendant Food Lion, Inc. and their driver Stevie D. Davis. The accident occurred on Interstate 24. Plaintiff Roberts sued the Defendants in the Circuit Court of Davidson County seeking a recovery of $270,000 for injuries and various amounts of damages she sustained as a result of the accident. A bench trial was held on May 1, 2000. On May 4, 2000 the trial court by Memorandum and Order found that Plaintiff Roberts was entitled to recover $25,000 for reasonable and necessary medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and for some diminution in earning capacity. On June 2, 2000, Plaintiff Roberts filed a motion for new trial, which was subsequently denied by the trial court on July 7, 2000. This appeal followed. Plaintiff Roberts insists that the trial court erred in not granting a motion for continuance; not allowing the deposition testimony of a witness; in its award of damages; and by not allocating monies for future medical expenses.

State vs. Marcus Terry

W2000-01747-CCA-R3-PC
The Appellant, Marcus A. Terry, appeals the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. Terry is currently serving a thirty-year sentence as a result of two convictions by a Shelby County jury for vehicular homicide. On appeal, Terry asserts: (1) that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial; and (2) that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury that he could potentially receive consecutive sentences for his multiple convictions. After review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
