Susan Hoefler vs. Paul Hoefler
M1998-00966-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Muriel Robinson
This appeal involves a dispute over a provision in a marital dissolution agreement in which the parties agreed to enroll their children in parochial school. The non-custodial parent declined to pay for the parties' younger child's private school expenses after the custodial parent unilaterally withdrew the child from parochial school and enrolled him in another private school. When the non-custodial parent filed a petition in the Circuit Court for Davidson County to terminate his child support because his younger child had reached the age of majority, the custodial parent insisted that he should reimburse her for nearly $23,800 in expenses she had incurred to send the child to private school. The trial court, relying on the terms of the marital dissolution agreement, declined to order the non-custodial parent to reimburse the custodial parent for these expenses. On this appeal, the custodial parent asserts that the non-custodial parent waived his opportunity to object to her choice of schools for the parties' son and should be estopped to deny his responsibility for these educational expenses. She also requests this court to grant a retroactive upward deviation from the child support the non-custodial spouse had been paying. We affirm the trial court.

Charles Young v. Donal Campbell, Et Al.
M1999-02788-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Carol L. Mccoy
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Department of Correction regarding the calculation of his sentence expiration date. After the Department declined to give him credit for the time he had been on probation for a prior arson sentence, the prisoner filed suit against the Commissioner of Correction in the Chancery Court for Davidson County seeking 1,568 days of additional sentence credits. The trial court granted the Commissioner's motion for summary judgment after concluding that the Department's calculation of the prisoner's sentence was consistent with the sentencing court's orders and that it lacked jurisdiction to review the actions of the sentencing court. The prisoner has appealed. We have determined that the trial court properly dismissed the prisoner's petition for certiorari.

Don Brunetti v. Board of Zoning Appeals of Williamson County, et al. - Concurring
01A01-9803-CV-00120
Authoring Judge: Judge Patricia J. Cottrell
Trial Court Judge: Judge Henry Denmark Bell

This is an appeal of the trial court’s affirmance, in a writ of certiorari action, of a decision of the Williamson County Board of Zoning Appeals interpreting and applying provisions of the Williamson County Zoning Ordinance. The Appellant, Mr. Brunetti, is a neighbor of Mr. Brian Sanders, and objects to the operation of two grain bins (sometimes referred to as silos) on Mr. Sanders’s 5-acre parcel in Williamson County, which is zoned “Estate.” The Board of Zoning Appeals interpreted state statute and local  ordinance to allow this “agricultural” use. We affirm.
