Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Aug 14, 2023

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jeremy W. Alexander, Henning, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jody Pickens, District Attorney General; and Al Earls, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): EASTER

In April of 2019, Petitioner, Jeremy Alexander, pleaded guilty to several drug-related offenses. He received an effective 27-year sentence suspended to probation, supervised by community corrections after the service of 120 days in incarceration. Petitioner quickly violated the terms of his probation and was ordered to serve his entire 27-year sentence in incarceration. Petitioner appealed the revocation and this Court affirmed. State v. Alexander, No. W2020-00953-CCA-R3-CD, 2021 WL 3440542, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App. Aug. 6, 2021), no perm. app. filed. Petitioner then sought post-conviction relief on the basis that his guilty plea was unknowing and involuntary and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at the guilty plea hearing. The post-conviction court dismissed the petition as untimely. We affirm the dismissal of the petition.
