Jeffrey Roach v. State of Tennessee

Jeffrey Roach, Petitioner, pled guilty to unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted
felon in January of 2025. In exchange for the plea, he received a three-year sentence to be
served at 100%. In February of 2025, he filed a series of pro se motions which referenced
post-conviction relief and ineffective assistance of counsel. The post-conviction court
treated the motions as a petition for post-conviction relief, appointed counsel, and set a
hearing. Petitioner continued to file motions with the court despite being represented by
counsel. After a hearing, at which Petitioner did not testify, the post-conviction court
denied relief. Petitioner appealed. We affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
