State of Tennessee v. Brandon Theus

Syllabus

The pro se Defendant, Brandon Theus, appeals from the trial court's denial of his Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36 motion to correct a clerical mistake in his judgments of convictions for simple possession of methamphetamine and driving on a suspended license. The Defendant argues the trial court should have granted his motion to award pretrial jail credit on his sentence in the instant case, which had been ordered to run consecutively to separate cases that were pending parole revocation proceedings at the time of the Defendant's sentencing. The State contends that the Defendant's appeal was untimely, that the record is inadequate for review, and, nonetheless, that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the Defendant's motion to correct a clerical mistake. We conclude that the appeal is timely and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
