Kimberly Ann Scott v. State of Tennessee

Case Number
M2020-01023-CCA-R3-PC

Petitioner, Kimberly Ann Scott, appeals the summary dismissal of her pro se petition for post-conviction relief.  She argues that her petition alleges a colorable claim for relief and that therefore, the post-conviction court erred by dismissing the petition without appointment of counsel or an evidentiary hearing.  The State concedes that the post-conviction court erred by summarily dismissing the petition.  Upon review, we reverse the judgment of the post-conviction court and remand the case for further proceedings.
