Case Number
E2013-01883-CCA-R3-PC
The petitioner, Derrick Hodge, filed in the Hamilton County Criminal Court a petition for post-conviction relief from his guilty plea to possession of less than .5 grams of cocaine with the intent to sell. The post-conviction court dismissed the petition because it was untimely. On appeal, the petitioner contends that the holdings in Missouri v. Frye, __ U.S. __, 132 S.Ct. 1399 (2012), and Lafler v. Cooper, __ U.S. __, 132 S. Ct. 1376 (2012), establish a new rule of law that is entitled to retroactive application to cases on collateral review. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
