Certiorari denied · October 4, 2021

Questions presented

  1. Whether the state’s adjudication - or lack thereof- of Petitioner’s Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 60(b) Motion, Tennessee Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 36.1 Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence and/or Petition for the Writ of Habeas Corpus under Tennessee Code Annotated § 29-21-101 et. Seq., resulted in a decision “to set aside certain convictions” in order to preclude federal review, was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of clearly established Federal law as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States?

  2. Whether the state court’s failure to adjudicate the grounds in Petitioner’s motions and petitions pursuant to the Rules above, resulted in a waiver of the AEDPA § 28 U.S.C. standard regarding the statute of limitations?

  3. Whether an unknowing not understandingly made guilty “plea” to a sentence of “life” requiring fifty-one (51) calendar years before release eligibility is an involuntary waiver resulting in an unconstitutional sentence?

  4. Whether the denial of consideration of salient mitigation evidence due to ineffective assistance of counsel and abuse of process by the trial court result in a denial of fundamental due process?

  5. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit abused its discretion by failing to order an evidentiary hearing or allow time to amend to resolve disputed factual issues on Petitioner’s claims?

  6. Whether Petitioner was denied his right to due process where trial court refused to grant or fairly consider his Motion to Recuse?

  7. Whether the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit decision is in conflict with the decision of other appellate courts? -Page 2 of 27
