State of Tennessee v. Ronnie Edward Sexton

The Defendant, Ronnie Edward Sexton, pled guilty to burglary, a Class E felony, two counts of aggravated assault, a Class C felony, and theft of property valued at less than 500 dollars, a Class A misdemeanor, with sentencing left to the discretion of the trial court. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced the defendant as a Range I, standard offender to two years for the burglary conviction, six years for each aggravated assault conviction, and 11 months and 29 days for the misdemeanor theft conviction. The trial court also found the defendant qualified as a dangerous offender and ordered consecutive service of one of the aggravated assault convictions, for a total effective sentence of 12 years. In this appeal as of right, the defendant contends that the trial court erred in its imposition of sentence. The defendant failed to file a timely notice of appeal. Because we discern no reason to waive the timely filing of the notice of appeal, the appeal is dismissed.
