Anthony Jerome Stokes v. State of Tennessee

The petitioner, Anthony Jerome Stokes, appeals the trial court's denial of post-conviction relief. The petitioner argues (1) that he is entitled to a delayed application for permission to appeal to our supreme court based upon his post-conviction counsel's failure to either notify him of the results of his appeal or withdraw as counsel; and (2) that the trial court erroneously declined to rule on issues presented on remand from this court. Our opinion and judgment entered April 23, 1999, in Anthony Jerome Stokes v. State, No. 03C01-9710-CR-00477, are vacated and re-entered as of this date.  Because all other issues are beyond the scope of our remand, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
