Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jason Steven Molthan, Franklin, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; Stacey Edmondson, District Attorney General; and Jennifer K. Dungan, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HOLLOWAY

Petitioner, Jason Steven Molthan, appeals from the trial court’s summary denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence related to his misdemeanor convictions for stalking and harassment, for which he received consecutive sentences of eleven months and twenty- nine days. On appeal, he argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion without the appointment of counsel and a hearing; that the trial court improperly imposed consecutive sentencing by finding that his history of criminal activity was extensive; and that he received ineffective assistance of appellate counsel in his direct appeal. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm.
