Tony Alan Winsett v. State of Tennessee

The Appellant, Tony Alan Winsett, appeals the Obion County Circuit Court’s summary dismissal of his “Motion for Delayed Appeal” following the Circuit Court’s March 28, 2006 dismissal of his pro se petition for post-conviction relief, which alleged only that his sentence was illegal. On January 9, 2007, Winsett, proceeding pro se, filed a “Motion for Delayed Appeal” seeking to appeal the March 2006 dismissal of the petition. In his motion, Winsett also asserted new grounds for relief, including ineffective assistance of counsel and a motion to suppress issue. After review, we conclude that this court is without jurisdiction to entertain the appeal. See Tenn. R. App. P. 3(b). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
