STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JOHN WAYNE HAMBY

The Defendant, John Wayne Hamby, was convicted by a Cumberland County jury of rape
of a child, for which he received a sentence of forty years’ incarceration at one hundred
percent service. On appeal, the Defendant claims that the evidence is insufficient to
support his conviction and that the trial court erred by imposing an excessive sentence.
Because we conclude that the Defendant’s notice of appeal was untimely filed and that the
interests of justice do not merit waiver of the untimeliness, we dismiss the appeal.
