Jeffrey M. English v. State of Tennessee
Petitioner, Jeffrey M. English, was charged with three counts of aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated assault. He entered open pleas of guilt to the three counts of aggravated robbery, and the State nolled the aggravated assault count. A sentencing hearing was conducted, and Petitioner received a sixteen year sentence for each of the three counts of aggravated robbery. Petitioner also received an eight year sentence for a probation violation, which Petitioner conceded. The trial court ordered all four sentences to be served consecutively, resulting in a total effective sentence of fifty-six years. Petitioner's sentence was affirmed by this court on direct appeal. State v. Jeffrey English, 2000 Tenn. Crim. App. LEXIS 911, No. M1999-02495-CCA-R3-CD (Tenn. Crim. App. at Nashville, November 22, 2000) perm. to appeal denied April 9, 2001. Petitioner filed a pro se petition for post-conviction relief, in which he alleged that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel.

Donald G. Brooks v. State of Tennessee
Petitioner, Donald G. Brooks, filed a petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions for first degree felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, theft of property over $1,000 and setting fire to personal property. In his petition, Petitioner alleged that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial and on appeal. Following an evidentiary hearing, the post-conviction court concluded that Petitioner's appellate counsel had rendered ineffective assistance when he failed to request a transcript of Petitioner's sentencing hearing on appeal. The post-conviction court found that all of the other grounds presented by Petitioner for post-conviction relief were without merit. After a careful review, we affirm in part and reverse in part the judgment of the post-conviction court. |
