Jason R. Williams v. David Sexton, Warden

Case Number
E2011-02557-CCA-R3-HC

Petitioner, Jason R. Williams, appeals from the denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus in which he complained that the McMinn County trial court did not have jurisdiction to impose concurrent sentences. After the timely filing of a notice of appeal, Petitioner argues in this Court that the habeas petition was improperly dismissed and that Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-21-101, which limits the grounds for habeas corpus relief, is unconstitutional. After a review of the record, we conclude that Petitioner has not provided an adequate record demonstrating his sentences were illegal. Thus, we chose not to address the constitutionality of the statute. Accordingly, the judgment of the habeas corpus court is affirmed.
