John Thedford Day v. Vici Martha Day Gaywood 02A01-9805-CV-00041 Authoring Judge: Judge David R. Farmer Trial Court Judge: Judge James F. Russell This appeal involves a dispute between Plaintiff John Thedford Day and Defendant Vici Martha Day Gatewood regarding Mr. Day’s obligation to pay child support for the benefit of Sean, the parties’ adult son. Mr. Day and Mrs. Gatewood were divorced in November of 1976, when Sean was almost seven years of age. Consistent with the terms of the parties’ marital dissolution agreement, the trial court granted custody of Sean to Mrs. Gatewood and ordered Mr. Day to pay child support in the amount of $150.00 per month. In June of 1984, when Sean was fifteen years of age, Mrs. Gatewood filed a petition to increase the amount of Mr. Day’s child support obligation. By consent, the trial court entered an order providing that Mr. Day would pay $250.00 per month in child support until Sean reached the age of majority. On January 9, 1987, Sean reached the age of majority. Thereafter on April 25, 1987, Sean was involved in an automobile accident. Despite the injuries received as a result of this accident, Sean graduated from high school in May of 1987.	Shelby	Court of Appeals	04/19/99
Dan Wilson v. Lawrence Rubin M1998-00959-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Irvin H. Kilcrease, Jr. This appeal involves the termination of an employee by a music publishing company after one of its songwriters complained that the employee had stalked and harassed her. The employee filed suit in the Chancery Court for Davidson County alleging gender and age discrimination in violation of the Tennessee Human Rights Act. The publishing company moved for a summary judgment asserting that it had a valid non-discriminatory ground for terminating the employee. The employee responded that the proffered non-discriminatory ground was pretextual. The trial court granted the summary judgment and dismissed the employee's complaint. On this appeal, the employee asserts that genuine material factual disputes regarding the publishing company's non-discriminatory reasons for terminating him should have prevented the trial court from granting the summary judgment. We agree and, therefore, vacate the order dismissing the employee's complaint.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	04/16/99
Vanderbilt University vs. Pamela Henderson M1998-00929-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Thomas W. Brothers This appeal involves a dispute between Vanderbilt University and one of its graduates arising out of two student loans. After the former student stopped repaying the loans, Vanderbilt University filed suit in the Davidson County General Sessions Court seeking to recover the principal and interest due, collection costs, and attorney's fees. The general sessions court awarded Vanderbilt University a $9,056.43 judgment. The former student perfected a de novo appeal to the Circuit Court for Davidson County. Following a bench trial, the trial court awarded Vanderbilt University a $5,051.56 judgment and established an installment payment plan for the judgment. The former student asserts on this appeal that Vanderbilt University was not entitled to a judgment against her because of its failure to comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the requirements of the federal student loan program and because she has fully repaid her loans. We have concluded that the record supports the trial court's decision and, therefore, affirm the judgment.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	04/16/99
