| State vs. Helen Cumberbatch
E2000-00047-CCA-R3-CD
The Defendant appeals as of right from the trial court's revocation of her community corrections sentence. She argues that the trial court erred in revoking her community corrections sentence based on unreliable, undocumented hearsay evidence that she had failed a drug screen. The State asserts that the Defendant has waived appellate review of the admission of the hearsay evidence because she failed to object at the hearing. We hold that the trial judge properly considered the hearsay evidence, and she did not abuse her discretion in revoking community corrections because the evidence was sufficient to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the Defendant had violated the conditions of community corrections by using cocaine. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court revoking the Defendant's community corrections sentence.

| Corporate Catering, Inc. vs. Corporate Catering, Etc., LLC, et al
M1997-00230-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a dispute over the use of a defunct catering business's trade name and menu. The owner of the catering business filed suit in the Circuit Court for Davidson County seeking damages for conversion, breach of common-law copyright, and infringement of its business trade name and the distinctive names of its menu items. The trial court granted the defendants' motions for directed verdict regarding the conversion and the common-law copyright claims. After the jury returned a $12,500 verdict on the infringement of the trade name claim, the trial court granted the defendants' motion for a judgment in accordance with their motion for a directed verdict. In the alternative, the trial court, acting as thirteenth juror, set the verdict aside and granted a new trial. On this appeal, the defunct catering business asserts that the trial court erred by dismissing its claims for conversion and breach of common-law copyright. It also asserts that the trial court erred by failing to enter a judgment on the jury's verdict on the trade name claim. We have determined that the trial court decisions are supported by the law, and therefore, we affirm.

| Angela N. Bilbrey v. American Nat'L. Bank & Trust Co.
03S01-9708-CH-00092
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. section 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellant contends the evidence preponderates against the chancellor's findings that the employee's permanent mental and physical injuries arose out of and in the course of her employment. As discussed below, the panel has concluded the judgment should be affirmed. At the time of the trial, the employee or claimant, Angela Bilbrey, was fifty years old. She has a high school education and attended a business school for two years. She has served in the United States Navy, where she received some technical training. She has worked for American National Bank, now SunTrust, since 1979 as a collector or account adjuster. In April of 1987, she went to Sierra-Tuscon, an alcohol and drug dependency center, where she was treated for emotional problems related to her family situation and her difficulty coping with them. There is some history of mental dysfunction in her family and there is evidence she was mistreated by her mother and that her former husband is a recovering alcoholic. She told a psychologist at Sierra- Tuscon she wanted "to know why I am unhappy a lot." She worked on the third floor of her employer's building. On June 29, 1993, she and another employee entered an elevator on the third floor to go to the lobby floor. The elevator fell from the third floor to some distance below the lobby floor, before stopping suddenly. She remained "stuck" in the elevator for approximately half an hour until she could be removed by other persons. Following the injury, she complained of shoulder pain and, after receiving emergency care at East Ridge Hospital, she was referred by the employer to Dr. George Seiters, a licensed and board certified orthopedic surgeon practicing in Chattanooga. Dr. Seiters diagnosed a cervical sprain, left rotator cuff tendinitis with mild impingement syndrome and possible bursitis in the left shoulder, all of which he treated conservatively. When her shoulder pain and loss of motion persisted, he injected her shoulder with six milligrams of cortisone on October 2
