Ugenio Ruby-Ruiz v. State of Tennessee - Dissenting Opinion

Syllabus

I respectfully dissent from the majority's opinion granting the delayed appeal because I conclude that the Tennessee Supreme Court, in denying the Petitioner's request to late-file his appeal pursuant to Rule 11 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure (\Rule 11 application\), has already reviewed the substantive underlying issues of the appeal in determining not to accept the late-filed appeal in the interest of justice.
