Gregory Eidson v. State of Tennessee

Case Number
M2015-01657-CCA-R3-HC

In 2012, the Petitioner, Gregory Eidson, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and attempted second degree murder, and the trial court imposed consecutive sentences of three and eight years, respectively, to be served on Community Corrections.  The Petitioner filed a timely petition for post-conviction relief, which the post-conviction court denied.  This Court affirmed the denial.  Gregory Eidson v. State, No. M2012-02482-CCA-R3-PC, 2013 WL 6405782, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, Dec. 6, 2013), perm. app. denied (Tenn. Mar. 5, 2014).  In 2014, the Petitioner’s Community Corrections sentence was revoked, and the trial court ordered the Petitioner to serve his eleven-year sentence in confinement.  After filing several motions and petitions, the Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, which he also termed a second motion to reopen his post-conviction petition, and a motion for correction of an illegal sentence pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1.  The trial court entered an order dismissing the petition and motion.  We affirm the trial court’s judgments.
