Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Mar 8, 2022

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Taylor R. Dahl, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Jayson Bryant Collier.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Senior Assistant Attorney General; John W. Carney Jr., District Attorney General; and C. Daniel Brollier Jr., Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): MCMULLEN

The Petitioner, Jayson Bryant Collier, appeals the denial of his petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions for possession of one-half ounce or more of marijuana with the intent to sell or deliver within 1000 feet of a school, possession of a firearm with the intent to go armed during the commission of a dangerous felony, theft of property valued at five hundred dollars or less, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, driving on a revoked license, and speeding. On appeal, he argues that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, that his sentence violates the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I, section 16 of the Tennessee Constitution, and that his sentence is illegal under Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1. After reviewing the record, the parties’ briefs, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
