Thiermo Mamadou Diallo v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Thiermo Mamadou Diallo, filed a petition for writ of error coram nobis, seeking relief from his conviction of statutory rape, which was the result of a guilty plea, based upon the victim's recantation of her allegations against him. The Petitioner acknowledged that the petition was untimely but alleged that due process justified tolling the statute of limitations. After a brief hearing on the issue, the coram nobis court dismissed the petition. On appeal, the Petitioner challenges this ruling. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the coram nobis court.
