David E. Lyons v. State of Mississippi

ISHEE, J.,

for the Court:

' ¶ 1. In 2014, after a trial on the merits, David Lyons was convicted in the Monroe County Circuit Court of felony driving under the influence (DUI). Since the conviction served as Lyons’s third DUI offense, he was deemed a habitual offender. The circuit judge sentenced Lyons to five years day-for-day in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC). Lyons filed a motion for a new trial or, in the alternative, a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV), which was denied. Aggrieved, Lyons appeals. Finding no error, we affirm.
