State of Tennessee v. Gregory O. Cherry

Appellant, Gregory O. Cherry, was found guilty by a jury of possession of over .5 grams of cocaine with the intent to sell, delivery of under .5 grams of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia. As a result, he was sentenced to a total effective sentence of eight years. The trial court ordered Appellant to serve the effective eight-year sentence consecutively to sentences in case numbers 8395 and 8396.1 Appellant filed a motion for new trial. Appellant appeals, arguing that the trial court erred by refusing to suppress Appellant’s confession and improperly refused to suppress evidence obtained by a warrantless search of Appellant’s car. Appellant also contends that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the convictions. Because the record does not indicate that the trial court denied Appellant’s motion for new trial, we determine that we lack jurisdiction to hear the case and dismiss the appeal.
