Franklin Shane Halstead, v. Niles-Bolton Associates, Derek Barton Company, Inc., D/B/A Derek Barton Tennis Courts, et al. 01A01-9503-CV-00113 Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Judge Walter C. Kurtz This appeal involves a personal injury action in which the plaintiff sought to file a separate suit against previously unknown defendants in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. § 20-1-119 (1994). The Fifth Circuit Court for Davidson County granted the new defendants’ motions for summary judgment on the ground that the complaint was filed one day late. The plaintiff asserts on this appeal that the trial court erred by failing to extend the time for filing his amended complaint by three days in accordance with Tenn. R. Civ. P. 6.05. We have determined that Tenn. R. Civ. P. 6.05 does not extend the deadline for taking the actions required by Tenn. Code Ann. § 20-1-119 and, therefore, affirm the trial court.

In Re:Estate of Jessie Haney, Deceased, Mable Young, Leona Young, Beulah Young, Glenda Young, and Jewel Mitchell, v. Arlene Bush, ndividually and Executor Under the Will of Jessie Haney - Concurring 01A01-9509-CV-00424 Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. The majority has reached the correct result in this case. I have prepared this separate opinion for two reasons. First, we should state clearly that the contestants’ trial counsel should not be faulted for requesting the trial court to use a Tennessee Pattern Jury Instruction that the Tennessee Supreme Court had disapproved only one month before trial. Second, we should conclude without equivocation that the record contains material evidence upon which the jury could have determined that the beneficiary had clearly and convincingly rebutted the presumption of undue influence arising from her confidential relationship with Mrs. Haney.

Gloria Jean Woodfork v. Hampton Inns, Inc., and Phillip H. McNeill and R. Brad Martin, D/B/A Jackson Inns, LTD. 02A01-9411-CV-00266 Authoring Judge: Senior Judge Tomlin Trial Court Judge: Judge Whit A. Lafon Gloria Jean Woolfork (“plaintiff”) filed suit in the Circuit Court of Madison County against Phillip H. McNeil and R. Brad Martin, d/b/a Jackson Inns, Ltd.,1 seeking damages for her personal injuries allegedly caused by defendant’s negligence. The case was tried before a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff. Although defendants have raised several issues on appeal, the pivotal issue in this case is whether the trial court properly performed his function as a thirteenth juror in denying defendants’ motion for a new trial. After reviewing this record, we are of the opinion that he did not, and we reverse and remand this case for a new trial.	Jackson	Court of Appeals	02/07/96
