Jeff Utley v. Department of Corrections
M1999-01412-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Department of Correction regarding his punishment for two unrelated disciplinary offenses. On both occasions, the Department extended the prisoner's release eligibility date in accordance with versions of Tenn. Dep't Corr. Policy Index No. 502.02 issued after he committed the crimes for which he was incarcerated. The prisoner filed a complaint in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Department's application of the later version of the policy to him violated the Ex Post Facto Clause of the United States Constitution. The trial court granted the Department's Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(6) motion, and the prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the prisoner's complaint fails to state a colorable ex post facto claim under either the federal or state constitution. Accordingly, we affirm the dismissal of the prisoner's complaint.

David J. Williams v. Tennessee Department of Correction
M1999-01661-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Department of Correction regarding the expiration date of his Class X life sentence for aggravated rape. After unsuccessfully petitioning the Department for a declaratory order, the prisoner filed a petition for declaratory judgment in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Department's Disciplinary Punishment Guidelines require the Department to treat his life sentence as one that fully expires in thirty years. The trial court granted the Department's Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02(6) motion, and the prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the trial court properly determined that the prisoner had failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment dismissing the prisoner's complaint.

Hilda Light v. Frontier Health, Inc., d/b/a Woodridge
E1999-00256-WC-R3-CV
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant, Frontier Health, Inc., d/b/a Woodbridge Mental Health Hospital (hereafter "Frontier"), appeals an award to Hilda Light of sixty percent disability to the body as a whole.

Harold Wayne Nichols vs. State
E1998-00562-CCA-R3-PD
The petitioner filed petitions for post-conviction relief for his conviction for first degree felony murder and his sentence of death, as well as for a number of convictions for sexual attacks on four additional victims. The bases of his complaints were that he had ineffective assistance of counsel at both the guilt and punishment phases of his capital trial, as well as in the noncapital cases, two of which were resolved by pleas of guilty. Specifically, he claimed that counsel failed to adequately investigate and prepare his cases; failed to question the probable cause for his arrest; and failed to question whether his confessions were "false." He raised additional claims of ineffective assistance of counsel and claims regarding the unconstitutionality of the imposition of capital punishment. The post-conviction court denied the claims other than to order new sentencing hearings in the noncapital cases. The petitioner then timely appealed the post-conviction court's rulings, other than the ordering of new sentencing hearings. We have carefully reviewed the record and, based upon our review, we affirm the judgments of the post-conviction court.
