State of Tennessee v. Matthew Anthony Perry
Syllabus
A Johnson County jury convicted the defendant, Mathew Anthony Perry, of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and the trial court imposed a sentence of fifteen years' confinement. On appeal, the defendant argues the trial court erred in sentencing him as a Range II offender, asserting the State's notice of enhanced punishment was deficient. The defendant also argues the trial court erred in failing to grant a mistrial based upon alleged improper testimony. After reviewing the record and considering the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. However, we remand the matter for the sole purpose of ensuring that judgment forms were entered for each count of the indictment.
Judges: Judge. J. Ross Dyer
