Harold Bernard Schaffer v. State of Tennessee

Case Number
W2004-02212-CCA-R3-PC

The petitioner pled guilty to one count of failure to appear in case number 00-99 stemming from the terms included in a previous guilty plea in case number 99-228. The petitioner then filed a petition for post-conviction relief stating he was afforded ineffective assistance of counsel in case number
00-99. The post-conviction court denied this petition. On appeal, the petitioner argues that he was afforded ineffective assistance of counsel in his guilty plea for case number 00-99 and that his guilty plea for case number 99-228 is unenforceable because it lacks clarity. We affirm the denial of the petition by the post-conviction court.
