State of Tennessee v. Michael Stacey James May

The Defendant, Michael Stacey James May, was convicted by a Johnson County Criminal
Court jury of first degree felony murder, aggravated kidnapping, conspiracy to commit
especially aggravated kidnapping, extortion, and conspiracy to commit extortion. The trial
court imposed an effective sentence of life plus twenty years. On appeal, the Defendant
contends that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction. However, because the
appeal is untimely and the interest of justice does not require waiver of the timely filing of
the notice of appeal, we dismiss the appeal.
