Joseph Gilbert Williams, Jr. vs. State of Tennessee

In 2013, a Davidson County jury convicted the Petitioner, Joseph Gilbert Williams, Jr., of violation of the sex offender registry, third offense.  The Petitioner appealed, and this Court dismissed the appeal for failure to file a brief as ordered.  State v. Joseph Gilbert Williams, Jr., No. M2014-00019-CCA-R3-CD, (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, July 10, 2014).  In 2015, the Petitioner filed a pro se petition for post-conviction relief, contending that the State failed to disclose favorable evidence to him and that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel.  The trial court summarily dismissed the petition as untimely filed.  The Petitioner then untimely filed his notice of appeal.  On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the post-conviction court erred when it summarily dismissed his petition.  Finding that the post-conviction petition was not timely filed, we dismiss the appeal.
