Antonio Dewayne Sivels v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Antonio Dewayne Sivels, appeals from the Knox County Criminal Court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief from his 2017 conviction upon his guilty plea to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, for which he received a twenty-year sentence as a Range I offender. On appeal, he contends that the post-conviction court erred by summarily dismissing the petition after determining it was untimely. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
