John E. Saulsberry v. State of Tennessee

Aggrieved of the Lauderdale County Circuit Court’s summary dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus relief, the petitioner, John E. Saulsberry, appeals. The habeas corpus court denied the petition, finding that the petitioner’s negotiated plea agreement was valid because “[his] voluntary guilty plea waive[d] any irregularity as to offender classification or release eligibility,” that the petitioner’s sentences had not expired, and that the trial court had jurisdiction to sentence the petitioner. We affirm the lower court’s order of dismissal.
