The petitioner, Kenneth Clay Davis, appeals the Sevier County Circuit Court’s denial of his petition for post-conviction relief. The petitioner was convicted of identity theft, a Class D felony, and driving after being declared a habitual motor vehicle offender, a Class E felony, and was sentenced, as a career offender, to an effective sentence of twelve years in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the petitioner asserts that the denial of the petition was error because: (1) his due process rights were violated by the State’s failure to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the offenses were committed before the return of the indictment; and (2) he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel. Following review of the record, we find no error in the denial and affirm the judgment of the Sevier County Circuit Court.
