Gerald Jump v. C & M Disposal

This workers’ compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers’ Compensation
Appeals Panel of the Tennessee Supreme Court in accordance with Tennessee Code Annotated §50-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions
of law. The trial court dismissed the complaint finding Plaintiff had failed to establish he suffered
an aggravation of a pre-existing fracture to his left wrist. On appeal, Plaintiff argues the medical
evidence preponderates against the court’s dismissal of the action. Defendant seeks recovery of
discretionary costs and also seeks to have the costs of preparing the transcript of the evidence taxed as appellate costs. We affirm the dismissal of the action and remand the issue of discretionary costs to the trial court.
