Lamario Sumner A/K/A Lamario Fleming v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Larmio Sumner a/k/a Lamario Flemming, appeals the post-conviction court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief in which he alleged the ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Specifically, petitioner contends that trial counsel's assistance was ineffective because he failed to (1) request a jury instruction on aggravated assault as a lesser included offense of each count charged in the indictment; and (2) appeal the trial court's imposition of consecutive sentencing. After a thorough review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
