Daniel Livingston v. State of Tennessee, Stephen Dotson, Warden

In 2002, a jury convicted the petitioner, Daniel Livingston, of evading arrest in a vehicle with risk of injury, a Class D felony, inter alia. The trial court sentenced him as a career offender to twelve years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. On July 28, 2009, the petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the indictment for evading arrest was insufficient to vest the trial court with jurisdiction. The circuit court dismissed the petition, and the petitioner now appeals. Following our review, we affirm the order of the circuit court.
