DeShawn McClenton v. Grady Perry, Warden

Syllabus

The Petitioner, DeShawn McClenton, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Shelby County Criminal Court, alleging that the trial court used four judgments of conviction from a prior case that were void on their face to sentence him as a career offender in the present case, which rendered the judgments of conviction in the present case void. The habeas corpus court summarily denied the petition, and the Petitioner appeals the denial. Based upon our review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the appeal should be dismissed.

Judges: Judge Norma McGee Ogle
