2023On remand, the post-conviction court held a hearing on August 22, 2023, and found that the petition’s late filing “was not due to the fault of the petitioner, but due to the fault of her attorney.” Citing Whitehead v. State, 402 S.W.3d 615, 631 (Tenn. 2013), the post- conviction court found that the petition was not timely filed, but that the statute of limitations should be tolled for due process reasons.

2016Although the post-conviction court did not rule on the petition insofar as it related to the 1994 drug convictions, we note that the September 10, 2015 petition was not filed within one year of the cases the petitioner cites as grounds for relief, in particular Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296 (2004), Peugh v. United States, 133 S. Ct. 2072 (2013), or Lovins v. Parker, 712 F.3d 283 (6th Cir. 2013).
