Dane Sayles, Alias Bradley Harper v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Dane Sayles, appeals the Hamilton County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his conviction of possession of three hundred grams or more of cocaine for resale and resulting forty-year sentence as a Range II, multiple offender. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred by refusing to apply Riley v. California, 134 S. Ct. 2473 (2014), which prohibits the warrantless search of an arrestee's cellular telephone incident to arrest, retroactively. Based upon the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
