DANIELLE WRIGHT v STATE OF TENNESSEE

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Oct 15, 2024

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Danielle Wright, Nashville, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Richard D. Douglas, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Charme Allen, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): AYERS

Petitioner, Danielle Wright, appeals the Knox County Criminal Court’s summary dismissal of her petition for post-conviction relief. Following our review of the entire record, briefs of the parties, and the applicable law, we conclude that Petitioner filed an untimely notice of appeal and the interest of justice does not warrant a waiver of the notice requirement because Petitioner’s post-conviction petition was not timely filed, there is no basis for tolling the statute of limitations, and the petition fails to state a colorable claim for relief. Therefore, we dismiss this appeal as untimely.
