Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Kenneth Lee Cross, Hartsville, Tennessee, Pro se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; and Park Huff, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): CAMPBELL

The Petitioner, Kenneth Lee Cross, appeals as of right from the Trousdale County Circuit Court’s summary denial of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. He argues that his probation was revoked at a January 4, 2023 “furlough termination” hearing without counsel and without a valid waiver, rendering the judgment void. The habeas corpus court denied relief, finding noncompliance with statutory filing requirements and concluding the petition failed to state a cognizable habeas corpus claim. Based on our review, we affirm the habeas corpus court’s dismissal of the petition.
