The Tennessee Supreme Court last week dismissed a petition for reinstatement from Sumner County lawyer Ronnie Huggins. The court took the action after the Board of Professional Responsibility reported that Huggins had not satisfied outstanding obligations with the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education, had not paid the required reinstatement fee and remained in default of a student loan. On April 13, the court gave Huggins until May 29 to satisfy these obligations. Because the obligations were not met, the court dismissed the motion without prejudice.

Placing the burden on Williams, the court found that Williams posed “a substantial risk” of harm to the public and committed him to the custody of the attorney general. 18 U.S.C. § 4243(g).

Appellant and appellee were involved in a romantic relationship during which time appellee adopted her biological grandson. After appellee ended the relationship with appellant, appellant filed a petition to adopt appellee’s grandson. The trial court dismissed appellant’s petition with prejudice on its conclusion that appellant did not have standing to file an adoption petition. Discerning no error, we affirm. We grant appellee’s motion to declare appellant’s appeal frivolous and award her damages.

Frank Delmar Raines Jr., defendant, was indicted for rape, aggravated kidnapping and violating the sex offender registry. The third count of the indictment, charging defendant for violating the sex offender registry was severed prior to trial. After a jury trial, defendant was convicted of attempted rape and attempted aggravated kidnapping. The trial court sentenced defendant to 15 years on each offense and ordered the sentences to be served consecutively. Defendant’s motion for new trial was denied and this appeal followed. On appeal, defendant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence and his sentence. Because we determine that the evidence was sufficient and the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing defendant to an effective sentence of 30 years, we affirm the judgments of the trial court. However, because there is no judgment form in the record for the charge for violation of the sex offender registry, we remand to the trial court for entry of the same.
