State vs. Michael Elvis Green W2001-00455-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Joe G. Riley Trial Court Judge: Jon Kerry Blackwood A Hardeman County jury found the defendant guilty of rape. Four issues are raised on appeal: (1) whether there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction; (2) whether the trial court erred in denying the defendant a continuance; (3) whether evidence of the defendant's escape from jail was improperly admitted; and (4) whether the trial court should have charged the jury as to sexual battery, statutory rape, and Class B misdemeanor assault as lesser-included offenses of rape. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Hardeman	Court of Criminal Appeals	04/15/99

Harold David Jones vs. State of Tennessee 01C01-9805-CC-00222 Authoring Judge: Judge Joe G. Riley Trial Court Judge: Judge John H. Gasaway, III Petitioner, Harold David Jones, appeals from the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief by the Circuit Court of Robertson County. Previously, he entered a nolo contendere plea to second degree murder and received a Range II sentence of 35 years. The following issues are presented for our review: 1. whether the petition was filed within the applicable statute oflimitations; and 2. whether the nolo contendere plea was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. We find no reversible error and AFFIRM the judgment of the trial court.	Robertson	Court of Criminal Appeals	04/08/99

The issue presented for review is whether the petition is barred by the statute of limitations. We affirm the dismissal pursuant to Rule 20, Tenn. Ct. Crim. App.	Knox	Court of Criminal Appeals	04/06/99
State of Tennessee vs. James Robert Fields - Concurring 02C01-9709-CC-00341 Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Gary R. Wade Trial Court Judge: Judge Julian P. Guinn I agree that the conviction should be affirmed. Assault is not a lesser included or lesser grade offense of statutory rape. I disagree, however, with footnote 3 which suggests that a special request by the defendant for an instruction on a lesser offense would serve to amend the indictment. See State v. Leland Ray Reeves, No. 01C01-9711-CR-00515 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, Mar. 23, 1999).	Henry	Court of Criminal Appeals	04/01/99
