Question Presented (from Petition)

Whether the Supreme Court of Tennessee erred when it held, as a matter of first impression, that due process rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments are not violated by a trial court's failure to provide actual notice to a criminal defendant that his subsequent admission of criminal intent to a treatment instructor will be a mandatory condition of his diversion following the entry of a nolo contendere plea?
