State of Tennessee v. Anthony Todd Ghormley - separate opinion

Case Number
E2014-00736-CCA-R3-CD
I concur in the finding that Petitioner has not stated a colorable claim for which he is entitled to relief under Rule 36.1. I write separately in order to express my disagreement with the statement in the lead opinion that the plain language of Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 36.1 forecloses the conclusion that a claim of an illegal sentence is moot because the sentence has expired. I respectfully disagree particularly in this case when the record allows for a common sense, straightforward calculation leading to the inescapable conclusion that Petitioner‟s Community Corrections sentence has long since expired.
