Jeffery Michael Mabery v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Jeffery Michael Mabery, pled guilty to one count of attempted especially aggravated robbery in exchange for a ten-year sentence. Subsequently, he filed a petition for post-conviction relief in which he argued that his guilty plea was unlawfully and involuntarily entered into and that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The post-conviction court dismissed the petition, finding that it had no merit. Petitioner appeals. Although the notice of appeal in this case is untimely, we waive the timely filing of that document and reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the petition for post-conviction relief.
