State of Tennessee v. Quincy M. Gordon

The defendant, Quincy M. Gordon, entered an open plea to one count of forgery, and based
on his prior Michigan convictions, the trial court sentenced the defendant as a Range III,
career offender to six years’ incarceration in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On
appeal, the defendant argues the trial court erred in sentencing him as a Range III, career
offender based on his out-of-state convictions. Following our review, we reverse the
judgment of the trial court and remand for a new sentencing hearing.
