Charles Young v. Donal Campbell, Et Al. M1999-02788-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Carol L. Mccoy This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Department of Correction regarding the calculation of his sentence expiration date. After the Department declined to give him credit for the time he had been on probation for a prior arson sentence, the prisoner filed suit against the Commissioner of Correction in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking 1,568 days of additional sentence credits. The trial court granted the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment after concluding that the Department's calculation of the prisoner's sentence was consistent with the sentencing court's orders and that it lacked jurisdiction to review the actions of the sentencing court. The prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the trial court properly dismissed the prisoner's petition for certiorari.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	10/12/99
