Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1: Dewaine Love, Nashville, Tennessee, Pro Se

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; Courtney N. Orr, Deputy Attorney General; Charme Allen, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DYER

The pro se petitioner, Dewaine Love, appeals the summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus, asserting that he is entitled to relief because his multiple convictions violate due process and double jeopardy protections and that his sentence is unlawful because it was imposed without the preparation of a presentence report. Upon our review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the petitioner’s notice of appeal was untimely and that the interest of justice does not mandate waiver of the requirement. The appeal is dismissed.
