Description
DAUGHTREY, Judge. OPINION In this case we are asked to determine whether delayed second-tier appeal is available, and, if so, what the proper procedure for securing it is. The petitioner, William Spencer Pinkston, is an inmate of the state penitentiary, where he is serving a life sentence as an habitual criminal following his conviction for armed robbery. We have before us Pinkston's post-conviction petition, in which he alleges that he wrongfully was denied the possibility of review by the Tennessee Supreme Court on direct appeal of his conviction because his appointed attorney filed application for review in an untimely fashion.
