Harold Tolley v. Attorney General of Tennessee, et al.

Appellant inmate filed a petition for Declaratory Judgment in the Davidson County
Chancery Court, arguing that Tennessee Code Annotated Section 40-35-501(i) is
unconstitutional as applied to life sentences with the possibility of parole. The Appellee
Department of Correction filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the Appellant’s failure to
seek a Declaratory Order from the Department of Correction constituted the failure to
exhaust administrative remedies. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss. Discerning
no error, we affirm.
