John C. Tomlinson v. Tennessee Department of Correction - Concurring 01A01-9804-CH-00204 Authoring Judge: Judge Patricia J. Cottrell Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Irvin H. Kilcrease, Jr. In this appeal, a state prisoner appeals the trial court’s dismissal of his action in which he contends that he is entitled to the benefit of the 1989 Sentencing Reform Act’s allegedly lesser sentences for armed robbery, aggravated rape and aggravated kidnaping rather than the sentences imposed upon him at the time of his convictions in 1983. He also contends he is entitled, as a matter of law, to certain sentence reduction credits. Finally, he contends that, taken together, the downward adjustments of his sentence on the basis of these two contentions would entitle him to immediate release from custody. We affirm the dismissal of the prisoner's petition because it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	05/05/99

We do not find that the mother has made the requisite showing of changed circumstances, and, accordingly, we affirm the decision of the trial court.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	05/05/99
