State of Tennessee v. Joshua James Smith

Case Number
E2023-01416-CCA-R3-CD

I ultimately concur in the majority’s judgment dismissing this appeal. I write
separately simply to address the majority’s Part B consideration of why waiver of the
timeliness requirement is not in the interest of justice. Candidly, Defendant did not ask for
such consideration, let alone attempt to bear the burden of demonstrating that the interest
of justice merits waiving the timely filing requirement.
