Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Lavonta Laver Churchwell, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Ryan W. Davis, Assistant Attorney General; Glenn. R. Funk, District Attorney General; and Brian Ewald, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The pro se Petitioner, Lavonta Laver Churchwell, appeals the Davidson County Criminal Court’s summary denial of his petition for writ of error coram nobis. Because the petition was filed well outside the one-year statute of limitations and the Petitioner has not shown any grounds to warrant equitable tolling, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
