Patterson v. State

IRVING, P.J., for the Court:

¶ 1. This appeal arises out of Roger Patterson’s conviction, in the Calhoun County Circuit Court, for sale of a controlled substance (cocaine) and resulting sentence of twenty years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with eight years suspended, twelve years to serve, and five years of post-release supervision.

¶ 2. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the circuit court’s judgment.
