State vs. Christopher Bengston
E1999-01190-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant, Christopher Bengtson, was convicted by a McMinn County jury of three counts of reckless endangerment committed with a deadly weapon, a Class E felony. In this appeal as of right, the defendant raises two issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law to support the verdict; and (2) whether the trial court erred in failing to merge the three counts into one. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient as a matter of law for the jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of felony reckless endangerment. We agree with the defendant and the State that the three counts constituted a single course of conduct and should have been merged into one. We therefore affirm the felony reckless endangerment conviction for count one of the indictment but vacate the convictions for counts two and three.

Vernon W. Mauldin v. Tennessee Department of Correction
01A01-9801-CH-00014
This appeal involves a state prisoner's efforts to obtain judicial review of the length of his incarceration. The prisoner contends that he is entitled to the benefit of the 1989 Sentencing Reform Act’s lesser sentence for armed robbery rather than the sentence imposed upon him at the time of his conviction in 1985. He also contends he is entitled, as a matter of law, to certain sentence reduction credits. Finally, he contends that, taken together, the downward adjustments of his sentence on the basis of these two contentions would entitle him to be immediately released from custody. He filed a Petition for Declaratory Order with the Department of Correction, and the Department denied him relief. Thereafter, the prisoner filed a pro se "Petition for Judicial Review and/or Petition for a Declaratory Judgment and/or Petition for Common-law Writ of Certiorari" in the Chancery Court of Davidson County. The trial court granted the Department's motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12.02(6) of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. We affirm the dismissal of the prisoner's petition because it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Larry Aubrey Henson, v. Elizabeth Ellen Sorrell - Concurring/Dissenting
02A01-9711-CV-00291
I write separately only to indicate disagreement with an inference that may be drawn from the majority opinion. The last sentence in the opinion states that a party such as Henson may recover damages immediately flowing from the wrongful conduct, as in Smith v. Gore, 728 S.W.2d 738 (Tenn. 1987). As noted in the majority opinion, the plaintiff mother in Smith was permitted to recover in a medical malpractice action for damages immediately related to pregnancy and childbirth.
