State of Tennessee v. Quinton Cage

Syllabus

The petitioner, Quinton Cage, appeals the Montgomery County Circuit Court's summary dismissal of his motion to correct an illegal sentence, filed pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1. Also before us is the petitioner's motion, filed pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 14, to consider post-judgment facts. Because the petitioner's claim of a double jeopardy violation is not cognizable in a Rule 36.1 motion, we affirm the trial court's summary dismissal of the motion to correct an illegal sentence. Furthermore, because the post-judgment facts posited by the petitioner do not relate to actions that occurred after the judgment in this case, we deny the petitioner's motion to consider post-judgment facts.

Judges: Judge James Curwood Witt, Jr.
