Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 12, 2025

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: William J. Milam, Jackson, Tennessee, for the appellant, Christopher O. Curry, Jr.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Benjamin A. Ball, Senior Assistant Attorney General; Jody S. Pickens, District Attorney General; and Shaun A. Brown, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): WEDEMEYER

The Petitioner, Christopher O. Curry, Jr., pleaded guilty to possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and the trial court sentenced him to twelve years in the Tennessee Department of Correction. More than a year after his judgment became final, the Petitioner filed a pro se post-conviction petition, alleging he had received the ineffective assistance of counsel. After a hearing, the post-conviction court dismissed the petition as untimely. On appeal, the Petitioner asserts that due process requires tolling of the statute of limitations. After review, we affirm the post-conviction court’s dismissal of the petition.
