State of Tennessee v. Mark Fredrick Taylor

The defendant pled guilty to one count of attempt to obtain a controlled substance by fraud in case number S50,151 in exchange for an eight year sentence to be served on probation. He also pled guilty to one count of attempt to obtain a controlled substance by fraud and one count of fraudulently obtaining benefits for medical assistance in case number S50,727. For the controlled substance conviction, he received an eight year sentence to be served on probation concurrently with the sentence in case number S50,151. For the medical assistance conviction, the agreed sentence was six years, run consecutively to the other two sentences, with the manner of service to be determined by the trial court. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court ordered the defendant to serve his six year sentence in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant argues the trial court failed to make his pre-sentence report available and erred in sentencing him as a Range III offender. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
