Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 23, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Chase T. Smith, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Taivaun Marquise Mallory.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan Dugan, Assistant Attorney General; Robert J. Nash, District Attorney General; and Kayla M. McBride, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): SWORD

The Defendant, Taivaun Marquise Mallory, appeals his Montgomery County Circuit Court conviction of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, for which he received a sentence of twelve years’ incarceration. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress a firearm recovered after a traffic stop and that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction. Discerning no error, we affirm.
