Marcellus Hazelitt v. State of Tennessee

This matter is before the Court upon the State's motion to dismiss the appellant's appeal, or in the alternative, affirm the judgment of the trial court by memorandum opinion pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. The appellant filed a motion for correction or reduction of sentence that the trial court denied without benefit of a hearing. After reviewing the record in this case, we find the State's motion to affirm the judgment of the trial court by memorandum has merit. Accordingly, the motion is granted and the appeal is affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
