State of Tennessee v. Frank Randall Snowden

The appellant, Frank Randall Snowden, pled guilty in the Gibson County Circuit Court to a violation of the residency restriction for convicted sex offenders, a Class A misdemeanor. He received a sentence of eleven months and twenty-nine days, suspended. As a condition of his plea, the appellant attempted to reserve a certified question of law as to “whether [Tennessee Code Annotated section] 40-39-111 is constitutional under state and/or federal law and as applied to this [appellant].”  Upon review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that the appellant did not properly reserve his certified question, and, therefore, the appellant’s appeal must be dismissed.
