AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20
OPINION
The appellant, George W. Plunk, was convicted of impersonating a licensed professional, a Class E felony, and violating the Private Investigator Licensing and Regulatory Act, a Class A misdemeanor, by a jury of his peers. The trial court found the appellant to be a multiple offender and imposed a Range II sentence consisting of a $750 fine and confinement for four (4) years in the Department of Correction for impersonating a licensed professional. The court sentenced the appellant to pay a fine of $700 and serve eleven months and twenty-nine days in the Henderson County Jail for violating the Private Investigator Licensing and Regulatory Act. The appellant's sentences were suspended and he was placed on probation. One issue is presented for review. The appellant contends the evidence contained in the record is insufficient, as a matter of law, to support a finding by a rational trier of fact he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The evidence contained in the record is overwhelming. The evidence establishes the appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, it is the opinion of this Court the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals.
