Terry D. Brewer v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Terry D. Brewer, filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, challenging his  forty-five-year sentence stemming from his 1989 convictions for aggravated rape with pregnancy  occurring, aggravated sexual battery, and incest. The trial court summarily dismissed the petition for writ of habeas corpus. The petitioner appeals the trial court’s dismissal and refusal to appoint counsel. The petitioner contends that his sentences are void because he was improperly sentenced under the 1982 Sentencing Reform Act instead of the 1989 Sentencing Reform Act. We conclude that the petition states no cognizable claim for relief, and we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
