State of Tennessee v. Sterling Lamar Cooper

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Sterling Lamar Cooper, appeals the Roane County Criminal Court's denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1. He argues that his effective twenty-four-year sentence, which included service of a nine-year community corrections sentence that was never revoked, is illegal. We affirm the trial court's denial of the motion but remand the case for correction of clerical errors in the judgments of conviction.

Judges: Judge Camille R. McMullen
