STATE OF TENNESSEE v. STACEY RENEE MOORE

Court:TCCA

Attorneys:

Steve McEwen, Mountain City, Tennessee (on appeal); David F. Bautista
and Deborah Black Huskins, Johnson City, Tennessee (at trial), for the
appellant, Stacey Renee Moore.

Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Kathy D. Aslinger,
Assistant Attorney General;  Joe Crumley, District Attorney General;
and Steve Finney, Assistant District Attorney General, for the
appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge: MCGEE OGLE

First Paragraph:

The appellant, Stacey Renee Moore, entered guilty pleas to two counts
of theft over five hundred dollars ($500), Class E felonies; one count
of theft under five hundred dollars ($500), a Class A misdemeanor; and
one count of failure to appear, a Class E felony.  For each felony
conviction, the appellant received a one-year sentence, with the
sentences to be served consecutively.  Additionally, the appellant
received an eleven month and twenty-nine day sentence for the
misdemeanor conviction to be served concurrent to the felony
convictions.  The trial court denied the appellant's request for
alternative sentencing and sentenced the appellant to an effective
sentence of three years in the Tennessee Department of Correction.  On
appeal, the appellant contends that the trial court erred by denying
alternative sentencing.  Upon review of the record and the parties'
briefs, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
