State of Tennessee v. Edward Dewayne Shelton, Jr.

Syllabus

The Appellant, Edward Dewayne Shelton, Jr., appeals as of right from the Davidson County Criminal Court's summary denial of his \motion to dismiss the indictment and motion to withdraw guilty plea and motion to correct illegal sentence.\ The Appellant contends (1) that his motion to withdraw his guilty plea was timely filed because there was no file stamp date on the judgment form (2) that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered due to the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel (3) that the charging indictment was void because it \was only signed by the foreman of the grand jury\ and (4) that his sentence was illegal because he was classified as a Range II, multiple offender rather than a Range I, standard offender. Discerning no error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Judges: Judge D. Kelly Thomas, Jr.
