Leo H. Odom v. Tony Parker, Warden

The Appellant, Leo H. Odom, appeals the Lake County Circuit Court’s summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. Odom was indicted for first degree murder and subsequently pled guilty in the Davidson County Criminal Court to second degree murder, receiving an agreed sentence of thirty years with service of 100% as a violent offender. He is currently an inmate at Northwest Correctional Complex at Tiptonville. On appeal, Odom argues that his 1997 murder conviction and resulting thirty-year sentence are void because his sentence is “erroneous as being contrary to the express provisions of the 1989 Sentencing Reform Act.” After review, we affirm the judgment of the Lake County Circuit Court.
