ERIC DATES v. STATE OF TENNESSEE

The Petitioner, Eric Dates, sought post-conviction relief from his conviction of driving under the influence (“DUI”), for which he received a sentence of eleven months, twentynine days on probation with service of forty-eight hours in confinement. Relevant to this appeal, he alleged that trial counsel was ineffective in his advice concerning a plea offer the Petitioner rejected prior to his trial. Following a hearing, the post-conviction court denied the petition, and the Petitioner appeals. After review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
