State of Tennessee v. John Robert Quinton Jackson

The record in this matter is very sparse.  Much of our understanding of its history comes from the decision of this court in the defendant’s direct appeal, State v. John Robert Q. Jackson, No. M2012-00511-CCA-R3-CD, 2013 WL 791621 (Tenn. Crim. App. Mar. 4, 2013).  As best we can understand, the defendant, John Robert Quinton Jackson, pled guilty in February 2009 to five counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of automobile burglary, one count of theft over $10,000, and one count of theft over $1000, receiving an effective sentence of six years in community corrections.  In September 2009, he was served with a violation warrant and subsequently pled guilty to an additional count of aggravated burglary, receiving a four-year sentence in community corrections, to be served concurrently with the six-year community corrections sentence reinstated by the court.  Later, he was served with another violation warrant, based upon his participation in a home invasion and aggravated robbery.  Pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure  36.1, he filed a motion for correction of an illegal sentence, which the trial court dismissed.  He appeals that dismissal.  Based upon our review, we affirm the trial court’s dismissal of his motion.
