We granted an application for an interlocutory appeal in this case to consider whether the Board of Administration of the City of Memphis Retirement System is exempt from the contested case procedures of the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act because the City of Memphis is organized as a home rule charter form of government.

The Petitioner, Tracy Eugene Harris, appeals from the Hamilton County Criminal Court?s order denying his motion for pretrial jail credit pursuant to Rule 36.1 of the Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Following our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

The Petitioner, James Drew Freeman, appeals from the denial of post-conviction relief by the Criminal Court for White County.

Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
