C.D. Boyd vs. TN Board of Paroles, et al

This appeal involves an prisoner's efforts to be paroled from a 35-year sentence for second degree murder. After the Tennessee Board of Paroles declined to parole the prisoner for the sixth time, the prisoner filed a petition for common-law writ of certiorari in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking judicial review of the Board's latest decision. The trial court dismissed the petition, and the prisoner has appealed. We affirm the dismissal of the prisoner's petition.
