State of Tennessee v. Dwight James

After a jury trial, appellant, Dwight James, was convicted of failing to register as a sex offender.  The trial court sentenced appellant to two years in confinement, suspended to probation after 150 days of incarceration.  On appeal, appellant argues that the trial court erred by denying his motion to vacate his prior guilty plea to two counts of sexual battery in 1989 and that the requirement that he register as a sex offender violates the Ex Post Facto Clause and his procedural due process rights.  Following our review of the parties’ briefs, the record, and the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
