Michael White v. Bruce Westbrooks, Warden

The Petitioner, Michael White, appeals the Davidson County Criminal Court’s dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus relief from his 2005 convictions for five counts of rape and his fifty-five-year sentence.  The Petitioner contends that the habeas corpus court erred by summarily denying relief.  He argues that his convictions are void because his constitutional right to a jury trial was violated by the trial court’s applying erroneous sentencing enhancement factors and that principles of double jeopardy were violated by the court’s merging his convictions.  We affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.
