Authoring Judge: Judge Charles D. Susano, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Billy Joe White

This litigation originated when the Town of Huntsville (“Huntsville”) and Stanlodge, LLC (“Stanlodge”), filed suit challenging the constitutionality of Chapter 1101 of the Public Acts of 1998. The plaintiffs specifically contest Section 9(f)(3)1 of Chapter 1101, which permits certain territoriesto hold incorporation elections even though these territories do not satisfy the minimum requirements for such elections as set forth in the general law. See T.C.A. § 6-1-201 (1998). On cross motions for summary judgment, the trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants, finding that Section 9(f)(3) is constitutional. Huntsville and Stanlodge appeal, raising   five issues:

Trial Court Judge: Thomas W. Brothers
Appellant, a pro se prisoner, brought this legal malpractice action against the appointed appellate counsel in his criminal case. Appellant argued that his conviction would have been reversed but for Appellee's failure to assert in his criminal appeal that the trial court committed reversible error by forcing Appellant to attend trial in prison garb. That argument was made in a supplemental brief filed by Appellant's new appellate counsel and was rejected by the Court of Criminal Appeals. The trial court in this malpractice action granted Appellee's motion for summary judgment. We affirm because Appellant has failed to establish a breach of the standard of care or that he was damaged by counsel's decision not to make an argument which was, in fact, made by new counsel and was unsuccessful.
