Estate of W.O. McIntyre W1999-01700-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: Dewey C. Whitenton This is a will contest. The decedent committed suicide after writing several notes in which he expressed his wish that the bulk of his estate pass to his wife of eighteen years, with specific bequests to his children. The decedent's children contested the validity of the disposition, arguing that the decedent lacked testamentary capacity to execute a will at the time that he wrote the notes. After a jury trial, the jury found that the decedent had testamentary capacity and that the handwritten notes constituted a valid holographic will. The children appeal, arguing that the burden of proving testamentary capacity should have been placed on the will's proponents, due to the decedent's depression and resulting suicide, and that the evidence did not support the jury's verdict. We affirm, finding that the trial court did not err in its instructions on the burden of proof and that there is material evidence to support the jury's verdict.	McNairy	Court of Appeals	01/19/00
Bio-Medical vs. K.R. Chary W1999-01727-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: Joe C. Morris This is a lawsuit to enforce covenants not to compete. The plaintiffs are private companies that own and operate dialysis medical clinics in West Tennessee. The plaintiffs brought an action against the defendant physicians to enforce covenants not to compete contained in agreements for the sale of the dialysis clinics and other related employment agreements. The trial court granted summary judgment to the physicians on the ground that the covenants are void because they are contrary to public policy. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand, finding the covenants enforceable to the extent that they do not prevent the defendant physicians from practicing medicine in their specialty.

Charles Shoffner vs. Billy Enterprises W1999-01609-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: George H. Brown This is a slip and fall case. The plaintiff was injured while bowling at the defendant's bowling alley. While he was bowling, his beeper fell from his belt onto the bowling lane. The plaintiff crossed the foul line to retrieve his beeper, and slipped on the oiled surface. He sued the bowling alley for his injuries, asserting that the bowling alley failed to adequately warn him of the danger of crossing the foul line. The trial court granted a directed verdict in favor of the defendant, finding that the bowling alley had no duty to warn the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff was more than 50% at fault for the accident. The plaintiff appeals. We affirm, finding that, under the undisputed facts, the plaintiff was more than 50% at fault for the accident.	Shelby	Court of Appeals	01/18/00
