Renasant Bank, a Mississippi Charter Bank Doing Business in Tennessee v. William R. Hyneman, et al.

This is a breach of contract case. The trial court found two defendants liable for breaches of continuing guaranty agreements related to a construction loan and awarded judgment for the plaintiff. The trial court, however, did not adjudicate a pending cross-complaint. Although the court attempted to certify the judgment as final pursuant to Rule 54.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure, the court’s order did not make the express findings essential to certification. Because the trial court did not properly certify the judgment as final, we do not have jurisdiction to consider the issues raised before us. We dismiss the appeal.
