State of Tennessee v. Wilson J.B. Jones

Syllabus

Wilson J. B. Jones, the Defendant, filed a Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1 motion for relief from an allegedly illegal sentence. The trial court found that the motion failed to state a colorable claim because the Defendant's sentence had expired and dismissed the motion. The Defendant \concedes that his sentences have expired\ and acknowledges that our supreme court in State v. Brown, 479 S.W. 3d 200 (Tenn. 2015), \held that Rule 36.1 does not authorize the correction of expired illegal sentences.\ The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
