The plaintiff prison inmate filed pro se petition for declaratory judgment and/or a writ of certiorari seeking review of prison disciplinary board's finding of guilt and the punishment relating to a prison incident. The trial court dismissed the petition for lack of jurisdiction, finding that declaratory judgment was not available for a review of prison disciplinary proceedings and that the petition for a writ of certiorari was untimely filed. The trial court also denied the plaintiff's subsequent petition to rehear. The plaintiff appeals from the dismissal of his original petition and the denial of his petition to rehear. We affirm

Shelby County Court of Criminal Appeals 05/11/00
State vs. Floyd Perry

W1999-01715-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant and appellant, Floyd Lee Perry, Jr., was indicted by an Obion County Grand Jury for first-degree murder, first-degree murder in the perpetration of a robbery, and especially aggravated robbery. Following a jury trial, the defendant was convicted of first-degree murder in the perpetration of a robbery, especially aggravated robbery, and second-degree murder (as a lesser included offense of first-degree murder). The trial court merged the second-degree murder conviction into the first-degree felony murder conviction and, following a sentencing hearing, sentenced the defendant to life imprisonment for felony murder and twenty-three (23) years for especially aggravated robbery. The court ordered the sentences to be served concurrently. On appeal, the appellant claims (1) that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, and (2) that the trial court erred by allowing the state to introduce prejudicial autopsy photographs in evidence. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

State vs. Stanley Blackwood

W1999-01221-CCA-R3-CD
A Madison County Grand Jury indicted the defendant, Stanley Blackwood, for one count of first-degree murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated assault, two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of aggravated burglary. Following a trial, a jury convicted the defendant on all counts, and the trial court imposed an effective sentence of life plus twenty-two (22) years incarceration. On appeal, the defendant contends (1) that the evidence was insufficient to sustain all of the convictions; (2) that the trial court erroneously instructed the jury; (3) that the trial court erroneously refused to admit results of a polygraph examination; (4) that the trial court should have merged two counts of aggravated assault with two counts of attempted first-degree murder; and (5) that the defendant's sentence was excessive. After a thorough review of the record, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

City of Brentwood v.Metro Zoning Appeals

M2002-00514-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves the efforts of the City of Brentwood to stop the construction of a billboard located in Davidson County. After Nashville's zoning administrator granted a building permit for the billboard, the City of Brentwood appealed to the Metropolitan Board of Zoning Appeals. When the Board affirmed the building permit, the City of Brentwood and four neighboring property owners filed a petition for common-law writ of certiorari in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking judicial review of the Board's decision. The trial court granted the motions to dismiss filed by the Board and the owner of the billboard on the ground that the City of Brentwood and the individual property owners lacked standing. We have determined that the trial court erred by determining that the City of Brentwood and its public officials lacked standing to seek judicial review of the Board's decision.
