Brian David McCray, v. Irene Carol Klanseck McCray
01A01-9704-CH-00170
Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Henry F. Todd
Trial Court Judge: Judge Jim T. Hamilton

This appeal seeks review of a post-divorce decree judgment entered by the Trial Court on December 6, 1996, finding the husband guilty of contempt, adjusting alimony and child support, determining the amount of unpaid arrearage of each, ordering monthly payments of the adjudicated arrearage and committing the husband to jail upon failure to pay any monthly installment required by the order. On August 1, 1997, this Court filed an opinion disposing of a previous appeal from an order entered by the Trial Court December 22, 1995. No application was filed for permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, and mandate was issued to the Trial Court. The August 1, 1997 judgment of this Court is now final.

Mary Bain vs. Terrance Simpson
M2001-00088-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Alan E. Highers
Trial Court Judge: Robert E. Corlew, III
- This appeal involves a trial court's granting of a motion for remittitur following a jury's verdict of $19,790.00 in favor of the plaintiff. The suit arose from an automobile accident caused by defendant in which plaintiff's back was injured. The evidence at trial indicated that the injury was an aggravation of a preexisting condition that caused the plaintiff additional pain and suffering for a period of approximately six months. Based on our review of the evidence, we reverse the trial court's reduction of damages and reinstate the jury's verdict.

Shelby Court of Appeals

Terry E. McLeese, Jr., v. Tammy Lynn McLeese - Concurring
02A01-9605-CH-00130
Authoring Judge: Judge William H. Inman
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Walton West

Custody of the five-year-old son of these parties was awarded to the appellee-mother in a post-divorce hearing. The parties initially agreed upon joint custody.  The father appeals, complaining essentially that the Chancellor relied too heavily on the tender years doctrine. We cannot substitute our judgment for that of the Chancellor, but are bound by the limitations imposed by TENN. R. APP. P., RULE 13(d). Unless the  evidence preponderates against the judgment, we must affirm.
