Court of Appeals of Mississippi
1Opinion of the Court
ISHEE, J.,
for the Court:
¶ 1. On October 20, 2011, Jackson Williams Jr. pleaded guilty in the Tunica County Circuit Court to one count of aggravated assault. He was sentenced to twelve years, with five years of post-release supervision (PRS), all within the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC). Subsequently, Williams filed a motion to vacate his judgment and sentence. The circuit court, treating it as a motion for post-conviction relief (PCR), dismissed the motion. Williams appeals. Finding no error, we affirm the circuit court’s judgment.
