Marcus Johnsonv. Tennessee Department of Correction
Syllabus
An inmate in the custody of the Tennessee Department of Correction filed a petition for writ of certiorari challenging the revocation of his parole. Because the inmate failed to file his petition within the sixty-day period required by statute, the chancery court lacked jurisdiction. We, therefore, affirm the chancery court's judgment dismissing the case.
Judges: Judge Andy D. Bennett
