State of Tennessee v. Travis Heath King

Case Number
M2014-01478-CCA-R3-CD

The defendant, Travis Heath King, appeals the summary dismissal of his motion, filed pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1, to correct what he believes to be an illegal sentence.  Because the defendant stated a colorable claim for relief under the terms of Rule 36.1, the trial court erred by summarily dismissing his motion.  Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the case for further proceedings.
