Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Mitchell A. Raines, Assistant Public Defender—Appellate Division (on appeal); Jeremy Epperson, District Public Defender, and Tyler Graham, Assistant District Public Defender (at hearing), for the appellant, Tracy D. Boyd, Jr.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; John H. Bledsoe, Deputy Attorney General; Brooke A. Huppenthal, Assistant Attorney General; Mark E. Davidson, District Attorney General; and Stephanie N. Draughon, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WILSON

Tracy D. Boyd, Jr., Petitioner, pleaded guilty to three counts of impersonating a licensed professional, one count of theft of property, and one count of forgery. Petitioner subsequently filed a petition for post-conviction relief, alleging that the indictments against him were defective, that he had received the ineffective assistance of counsel, that his guilty plea was entered under duress, and prosecutorial misconduct. The post-conviction court summarily dismissed each of Petitioner’s allegations. Petitioner now timely appeals. After review, we remand this case to the post-conviction court for entry of a written order that sufficiently addresses all grounds presented by Petitioner, and which states the court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding each ground as required by Tennessee Code Annotated section 40-30-111(b).
