Steve V. Walker v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that his sentence was illegal because: (1) he was improperly sentenced as a persistent offender (2) his sentence was improperly enhanced because he did not receive the State's notice of intent to seek enhanced punishment (3) the record of his prior criminal convictions relied upon to sentence him was inaccurate and (4) his counsel was ineffective. The trial court denied the Petitioner's request for habeas corpus relief, and the Petitioner appealed. Because the Petitioner has failed to allege grounds that would warrant habeas corpus relief, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Judges: Judge Robert W. Wedemeyer
