Curtis Keller v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Curtis Keller, appeals the summary dismissal of his petition for writ of error coram nobis, in which he sought relief from his convictions for three counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, three counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, and intentionally evading arrest in a motor vehicle. The Petitioner seeks coram nobis relief related to an undiscovered report matching his DNA to DNA from a ski mask used during the home invasion that led to his convictions. The Petitioner asserts he is entitled to due process tolling and a hearing. We conclude that because there is no reasonable basis to conclude that the evidence might have led to a different outcome, the trial court did not err in dismissing the petition without a hearing, and we affirm the judgment.
