Michael Smith v. State of Tennessee Department of Correction

This is an appeal of the trial court’s dismissal of a petition for writ of certiorari filed by an inmate
challenging the result of a prison disciplinary proceeding against him. The trial court dismissed the petition because it was not verified and failed to state that it was the first application for the writ as required by Tenn. Code Ann. § 27-8-106. After careful review, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
