Case Number
M1998-00454-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Board of Paroles regarding the revocation of his parole. After exhausting his administrative remedies, the prisoner filed a petition for common-law writ of certiorari in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that he did not commit the crime that triggered the revocation of his parole. The trial court eventually dismissed the petition on the ground that it was not timely filed, and the prisoner has appealed. While his appeal was pending, the prisoner was released from the Department of Correction. Accordingly, because this appeal is now moot, we vacate the trial court's order and remand the case with directions to dismiss the prisoner's petition.
