State of Tennessee v. Earl Jerome Lee, Jr.

Syllabus

The Appellant, Earl Jerome Lee, Jr., appeals as of right from the Madison County Circuit Court's summary denial of his Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1 motion to correct an illegal sentence. He contends that he is entitled to relief because his conviction for attempted felony escape was erroneously ordered to be served concurrently with his other sentences. Although we disagree with the trial court's conclusion that this issue had been previously litigated, we nevertheless conclude that the Appellant fails to state a colorable claim for relief. Therefore, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Judges: Judge D. Kelly Thomas, Jr.
