Janice F. Roberts vs. Stevie D. Davis, et al M2000-01974-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Don R. Ash Trial Court Judge: Walter C. Kurtz On May 17, 1995, Plaintiff Janice Roberts and her husband Max Nichols were involved in an automobile accident with the Defendant Food Lion, Inc. and their driver Stevie D. Davis. The accident occurred on Interstate 24. Plaintiff Roberts sued the Defendants in the Circuit Court of Davidson County seeking a recovery of $270,000 for injuries and various amounts of damages she sustained as a result of the accident. A bench trial was held on May 1, 2000. On May 4, 2000 the trial court by Memorandum and Order found that Plaintiff Roberts was entitled to recover $25,000 for reasonable and necessary medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and for some diminution in earning capacity. On June 2, 2000, Plaintiff Roberts filed a motion for new trial, which was subsequently denied by the trial court on July 7, 2000. This appeal followed. Plaintiff Roberts insists that the trial court erred in not granting a motion for continuance; not allowing the deposition testimony of a witness; in its award of damages; and by not allocating monies for future medical expenses.

Lola Taylor v. James Taylor M1999-02398-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Royce Taylor This appeal arises from the dissolution of a four-year marriage. The wife sought a divorce in the Circuit Court for Rutherford County because of the husband's chronic drunkenness, non-support, and threats of violence. Following a bench trial, the court granted the wife a divorce on the ground of inappropriate marital conduct. The trial court also divided the martial estate, gave the wife custody of the parties' four-year-old daughter, and directed the husband to pay child support. On this appeal, the husband asserts that the trial court erred in its classification and division of the marital property, that the trial court awarded an excessive amount of child support, and that the trial court erred by denying his request to place a portion of his child support in an educational trust fund. For her part, the wife requests an additional award to defray her legal expenses for this appeal. We conclude that the trial court (1) correctly classified and divided the marital estate, (2) properly sequestered a portion of the husband's assets to assure the timely and regular payment of his child support, and (3) properly declined to establish an educational trust fund for the child. We also conclude that the trial court erred by failing to direct the trial court clerk to return the remainder of the sequestered funds to the husband when his child support obligation ceased. In addition, we decline to award the wife her legal expenses for this appeal or to find that this appeal was frivolous.	Rutherford	Court of Appeals	06/11/94
Sarah Beth Clingan Overstreet v. Shoney's, Inc. 01A01-9612-CV-00566 Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Turnbull This appeal involves a freakish accident in which a shard from a broken dinner plate caused a restaurant patron to lose the sight in her left eye. The patron and her husband filed suit against the waitress who dropped the plate and the restaurant in the Circuit Court for Putnam County seeking damages for her injuries and for his loss of consortium. Following a three-day trial, the jury awarded the patron $2,013,000. On this appeal, the restaurant takes issue with several of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings, the trial court’s verdict form, and the trial court’s refusal to grant a remittitur. We affirm the judgment.	Putnam	Court of Appeals	06/04/94
