Jones v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided January 20, 2010No. A09A2214Published

1Opinion of the Court

Phipps, Judge.

In 1999, Bruce Jones pled guilty to and received a ten-year probated sentence for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. In 2009, he filed several pro se motions in which he asserted that his sentence was void because it was improperly enhanced by a prior conviction, that the imposition of the 1999 sentence violated his due process rights, that he did not receive a fair trial, and that both the 1999 judgment and the prior conviction should be reversed. Again pro se, Jones appeals the trial court’s denial of these motions. For reasons that follow, we affirm.
