Anthony T. Robertson v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Anthony T. Robertson, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging his conviction for sexual battery. The trial court issued a written order dismissing the petition and denying habeas corpus relief for failure to state a cognizable claim. The petitioner filed an untimely appeal of the written order denying his petition. Following our review of the parties’ briefs, the record, and the applicable law, we conclude that the petitioner failed to timely file his notice of appeal and therefore his appeal is dismissed.
