State of Tennessee v. Tina Cunningham
The defendant, Tina Cunningham, was convicted of two counts of introduction of contraband into a penal facility. The trial court imposed a six-year sentence and granted immediate probation. Later, the trial court extended the original six-year sentence by two years when the defendant was convicted of two counts of forgery, but permitted the defendant to remain on probation. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of four years for the forgery convictions, to be served on probation and consecutively to the sentence for introduction of contraband into a penal facility. At some point, the trial court ordered the defendant to complete a drug program. When she failed to do so, the trial court revoked the defendant's probation and ordered her to serve the balance of her sentence in a community corrections program. When the defendant failed to comply with the requirements of the program, the trial court revoked the community corrections sentence and ordered the defendant to serve the balance of her sentence in the Department of Correction. In this appeal as of right, the single question presented for our review is whether the trial court erred by ordering the defendant to fully serve the balance of her sentence. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed. |

State of Tennessee v. Brenda McKenzie
The appellant, Brenda McKenzie, pled guilty in the Chester County Circuit Court to one count of facilitating the manufacture of methamphetamine and one count of possession of anhydrous ammonia, both Class E felonies. The plea agreement provided for concurrent sentences of two years to be served on community corrections. The appellant moved the trial court to waive or suspend the mandatory fines on both offenses. The court denied the motion and the appellant now appeals. Upon review of the record and the parties' briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. |

John Robert Benson v. State of Tennessee
The petitioner was convicted of two counts of attempted first degree murder and three counts of reckless endangerment and received an effective sentence of thirty years. On direct appeal, this court affirmed the petitioner's convictions and sentence. The petitioner now contends that his trial counsel provided ineffective representation. After reviewing the record, we conclude that the petitioner has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. Accordingly, we affirm the denial of the petition for post-conviction relief. |

State of Tennessee v. Adrianne Elizabeth Noles
Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-13-213(a)(1) (1997), the defendant, Adrianne Elizabeth Noles, was charged with vehicular homicide by recklessness in the Haywood County Circuit Court. She submitted a guilty plea to the charge, a Class C felony, and agreed to have the trial court determine the length and manner of service of her sentence. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed a three-year sentence to be served in the Department of Correction. Aggrieved of the trial court’s rejection of any sentencing alternative to incarceration, she appeals. We affirm. |

State of Tennessee v. Tracy R. Pipes
The defendant, Tracy R. Pipes, appeals the Hardin County Circuit Court's revocation of her drug-offense probation. The court ordered her to serve the effective eight-year sentence in the Department of Correction. Because the record supports the lower court's actions, we affirm. |

State of Tennessee v. Carlos E. Bryan
This is yet another case in which the parties have been ensnared in the procedural pitfalls of a certified question of law. Defendant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to possession of over seventy pounds of marijuana with intent to sell or deliver with an agreed sentence of eight years. He attempted to reserve a certified question of law pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 37(b)(2)(iv), "with the consent of the court," relating to the search and seizure of the contraband. Because the defendant entered a negotiated plea of guilty and neither the judgment nor the order of the court reflects the state's consent to the certified question, we must dismiss the appeal. |

State of Tennessee v. James Charles Cavaye
Following a jury trial, Defendant, James Charles Cavaye, was convicted of first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder, and to a consecutive sentence of twenty-four years for the especially aggravated robbery. In this appeal as of right, Defendant contends that (1) the trial court failed to fulfill its role as the thirteenth juror; (2) the accomplice's testimony was insufficiently corroborated; (3) the trial court erred in applying enhancement factors in setting Defendant's sentence for especially aggravated robbery; and (4) the trial court erred in ordering Defendant's sentences to run consecutively. Based upon our review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. |
