Eric Foster v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Eric Foster, appeals the Knox County Criminal Court’s dismissal of his
petition for post-conviction relief from his convictions for one count of aggravated rape,
two counts of rape, one count of statutory rape, and one count of exhibition of harmful
material to a minor. On appeal, the Petitioner argues that the post-conviction court erred
by dismissing his petition for post-conviction relief as untimely. The Petitioner argues that
he is entitled to due process tolling of the statute of limitations because he pursued his
rights diligently and there were extraordinary circumstances preventing his timely filing.
We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
