Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 7, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Lawren B. Lassiter, Gallatin, Tennessee (on appeal and elbow counsel at trial), for the appellant; and Ivan Antjuan Burley, Nashville, Tennessee, Pro Se (at trial).

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; J. Katie Neff, Assistant Attorney General; Ray Whitley, District Attorney General; and Andrea W. Green, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): HIXSON

The Defendant, Ivan Antjuan Burley, appeals from his Sumner County conviction for attempted possession with the intent to sell or deliver twenty-six grams or more of cocaine, a Schedule II controlled substance. He contends that the trial court erred by admitting evidence of his contemporaneous drug-related activities in Davidson County in violation of Tennessee Rule of Evidence 404(b). Additionally, the Defendant raises several other constitutional and evidentiary claims. After review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
