David H. McCord v. HCA Health Services of Tennessee, Inc.

Surgeon brought suit against a hospital alleging multiple causes of action, two of which were dismissed upon the hospital’s motion for dismissal for failure to state a claim for relief. Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 20-12-119(c), the hospital filed a motion seeking recovery of costs and attorneys’ fees related to the dismissal of the two claims; the trial court granted the motion.  Plaintiff appeals.  We find no error in the award and, accordingly, affirm the judgment.
