Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Rebecca Lee, District Public Defender; Shannon J. Holt, Assistant Public Defender, for the appellant, Charles Lane.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Caroline Weldon, Assistant Attorney General; Jimmy Dunn, District Attorney General; and Charles L. Murphy, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The petitioner, Charles Lane, appeals the denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus by the Sevier County Circuit Court, arguing the habeas court erred in dismissing the petition. The petitioner asserts that his pretrial jail credits were not applied properly and that his request for transcripts was erroneously denied. Following our review, we affirm the habeas court’s dismissal of the petition as the petitioner has failed to show he is entitled to relief.
