State vs. Steve Paige W2001-03045-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Thomas T. Woodall Trial Court Judge: James C. Beasley, Jr. In an indictment returned by the Shelby County Grand Jury on August 9, 2001, Defendant, Steve Paige, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault. The indictment alleged that both offenses occurred on January 16, 1999. At a hearing on December 6, 2001, the criminal court, sua sponte, dismissed the indictment because of the State's failure to prosecute. In its order of dismissal, the criminal court found that Defendant was arrested on January 16, 1999, the case was bound over to the grand jury on May 25, 1999, but he was not indicted until twenty-seven months later. The trial court further found that Defendant was arraigned on November 13, 2001, but the State did not have a file on the case and it had to be continued twice for that reason. When the case was called on December 6, 2001, the State could still not produce a file on the case. Accordingly, the trial court dismissed the case with prejudice for the State's failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 48(b) of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure. The State appealed. After review, we affirm the trial court's order dismissing the case, but reverse that portion of the order dismissing the case with prejudice, and remand this case for the trial court to enter an amended order dismissing the case without prejudice.

State vs. Christopher Bengston E1999-01190-CCA-R3-CD Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Glenn Trial Court Judge: R. Steven Bebb The defendant, Christopher Bengtson, was convicted by a McMinn County jury of three counts of reckless endangerment committed with a deadly weapon, a Class E felony. In this appeal as of right, the defendant raises two issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict; and (2) whether the trial court erred in failing to merge the three counts into one. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law for the jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of felony reckless endangerment. We agree with the defendant and the State that the three counts constituted a single course of conduct and should have been merged into one. We therefore affirm the felony reckless endangerment conviction for count one of the indictment but vacate the convictions for counts two and three.	McMinn	Court of Criminal Appeals	01/12/99

State of Tennessee vs. Rodney Ford - Dissenting 01C01-9708-CR-00365 Authoring Judge: Judge Joe G. Riley Trial Court Judge: Judge Thomas H. Shriver I respectfully disagree with the majority’s conclusion that there was an illegal entry into the defendant’s home. Because I believe the entry into the residence and the seizure of property were proper, I further disagree that the matter should be remanded for further proceedings to determine the admissibility of the written confession. I would affirm the judgment of the trial court.	Davidson	Court of Criminal Appeals	01/07/99
