State of Tennessee v. Gary Wayne Garrett
Syllabus
Gary Wayne Garrett filed a Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36 motion seeking correction of clerical errors in his judgments of conviction. Mr. Garrett claimed that he was entitled to pretrial jail credit on various counts, several of which were ordered to be served consecutively. The trial court issued a comprehensive written order finding that the judgments correctly awarded pretrial jail credit and dismissed the motion. We determine that this appeal is frivolous and affirm the dismissal of the motion.
