Isaih Tatum v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Isaih Tatum, pleaded guilty to possession of more than 0.5 grams of
methamphetamine with intent to sell or deliver and unlawful possession of a weapon by a
convicted felon and received an agreed sentence of ten years. He subsequently filed a
petition for post-conviction relief, which the McMinn County Criminal Court denied after
a hearing. On appeal, Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred when it
denied relief on his claims that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel and that
his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered. Following a thorough review,
we affirm.
