Jefferson v. State
Court of Appeals of Mississippi
1Opinion of the Court
ROBERTS, J.,
for the Court.
¶ 1. Earnest Jefferson, Jr., pled guilty to two charges of selling cocaine. Jefferson filed an unsuccessful motion for post-conviction relief in August 2007. Jefferson later filed a “petition for reduction of sentence.” The Lee County Circuit Court treated Jefferson’s petition as a motion for post-conviction relief and summarily denied it based on the prohibition against successive motions for post-conviction relief. Aggrieved, Jefferson appeals. Finding no error, we affirm.
