State of Tennessee v. Steven Ray Chance

Case Number
M2004-01729-CCA-R3-CD

This matter is before the Court upon the State's motion to affirm the judgment of the trial court by memorandum opinion pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. The appellant has appealed the trial court's order summarily dismissing the appellant's "Affidavit of Specific Negative Averment." In that document the petitioner apparently desired to set aside his guilty plea because it failed to comply with certain provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon a review of the record in this case we are persuaded that the trial court was correct in summarily dismissing the "Affidavit of Specific Negative Averment" and that this case meets the criteria for affirmance pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. Accordingly, the State's motion is granted and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
