Charles Young v. Donal Campbell, Et Al.
M1999-02788-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Carol L. Mccoy
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Department of Correction regarding the calculation of his sentence expiration date. After the Department declined to give him credit for the time he had been on probation for a prior arson sentence, the prisoner filed suit against the Commissioner of Correction in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking 1,568 days of additional sentence credits. The trial court granted the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment after concluding that the Department's calculation of the prisoner's sentence was consistent with the sentencing court's orders and that it lacked jurisdiction to review the actions of the sentencing court. The prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the trial court properly dismissed the prisoner's petition for certiorari.

State vs. Michael Cardenas
W2001-01123-CCA-R3-PC
Authoring Judge: Judge David G. Hayes
The appellant, Michael Brian Cardenas, appeals from the order of the Chester County Circuit Court denying his petition for post-conviction relief. On appeal, the appellant argues that his guilty plea was involuntary because "he was denied the effective assistance of counsel at the trial level." In the appellant's brief, he raises four general areas of ineffectiveness: (1) his attorney failed to investigate, prepare or present a defense to charges against him; (2) counsel failed to file a motion to suppress the statement that appellant had provided to arresting authorities; (3) counsel failed to file a motion for change of venue; and (4) potential character witnesses were never interviewed to determine whether their testimony could be used during the trial. We find this argument without merit. The judgment of the post-conviction court is affirmed pursuant to Rule 20 of the Rules of the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.

State v. Erica Hartwell
W2001-03116-CCA-R3-CO
Authoring Judge: Judge Jerry Smith
Trial Court Judge: Joseph H. Walker, III
In this appeal the appellant, Erica J. Hartwell, contends that the Circuit Court of Tipton County, Tennessee, erred in denying her a writ of certiorari to review and vacate the orders of the Tipton County General Sessions Court revoking the appellant's probation. She maintains that the general sessions court conducted the probation revocation hearing without proper notice and without informing her of her right to an attorney at the hearing and her right to appeal. We hold that under the circumstances the writ of certiorari is not available. The judgment of the circuit court is therefore affirmed.
