State vs. Preston Fisher
W2000-00906-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Gary R Wade
The defendant, Preston Fisher, was convicted of theft of property over $10,000.00. The trial court imposed a Range I, five-year sentence and required service of 120 days in jail, after which the defendant was to be placed upon intensive probation. Following a probation violation by his use of marijuana, the defendant was placed in a Community Corrections program which required one year of drug and alcohol treatment at the Synergy Foundation followed by four years of supervision. After the defendant failed to pursue treatment at Synergy, the trial court ordered that he serve his sentence in the Department of Correction. In this appeal of right, the defendant contends that the trial court erred by the revocation of the Community Corrections sentence. The judgment is affirmed.

Stephen W. Murphy vs. State
M2000-00014-CCA-R3-PC
Trial Court Judge: J. Randall Wyatt, Jr.
The petitioner appeals as of right from the Davidson County Criminal Court's denial of post-conviction relief. The petitioner pled guilty in 1998 to two counts of theft and was sentenced as a career offender to twelve years for D felony theft and six years for an E felony theft. The sentences were statutorily required to be served consecutively. Petitioner filed a timely pro se petition seeking post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel and involuntary and unknowing guilty pleas. After an evidentiary hearing, the post-conviction court denied relief. Based upon our review, we affirm the post-conviction court's denial of the petitioner's request for post-conviction relief.

State vs. Jason Kimberland
02C01-9711-CC-00447

State of Tennessee vs. Melvin Lewis Peacock
01C01-9704-CR-00118
Authoring Judge: Judge John M. Tipton
Trial Court Judge: Judge J. Randall Wyatt, Jr.

The defendant, Melvin Lewis Peacock, appeals as of right from his jury convictions in Davidson County for possession with intent to sell three hundred grams or more of a substance containing cocaine, a Class A felony, and for the unlawful possession of a weapon, a Class E felony. The trial court sentenced the defendant as a Range I, standard offender to twenty years in the custody of the Department of Correction for the cocaine possession conviction and to a concurrent two-year sentence in the custody of the Department of Correction for the weapon possession conviction. The trial court ordered the defendant to serve the twenty-year sentence consecutively
to an earlier sentence. The defendant presents the following issues for our review:

(1) the trial court erred when it denied the defendant’s motion to suppress the evidence seized by the police pursuant to a search warrant on the basis that an exact copy of the warrant was not left with the defendant;
 

(2) the trial court erred in denying the defendant’s motion in limine to preclude the state from introducing into evidence five car titles found in a safe; and
 

(3) the trial court erred in permitting the state to recall Curtis Peacock as a witness during its case-in-chief.
 

We affirm the trial court’s judgment of conviction.

Billy Joe Bourff v. State of Tennessee
03C01-9705-CR-00189
Authoring Judge: Judge William M. Barker
Trial Court Judge: Judge Lee Asbury

The appellant, Billy Joe Bourff, appeals as of right the Campbell County Criminal Court’s dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
