| State vs. James David Shropshire
E1998-00872-CCA-R3-CD
In March 1996, James David Shropshire, the defendant and appellant, was convicted in the Knox County Criminal Court of aggravated sexual battery and simple assault. Following the jury's verdict, the trial court dismissed the simple assault charge. On appeal, the defendant challenges his conviction for aggravated sexual battery. He raises the following issues: (1) whether the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction; (2) whether a variance between the bill of particulars and the proof adduced at trial was fatal; (3) whether the defendant's conviction violated the double jeopardy clauses of the United States and Tennessee Constitutions; (4) whether the state made improper closing arguments; and (5) whether the trial court erred in allowing the state to introduce evidence that the defendant had committed prior bad acts. Because the jury heard evidence that the defendant committed a crime other than that for which he was on trial, which was the subject of an acquittal, the judgment of the trial court is reversed.

This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. Plaintiff filed a complaint for workers' compensation benefits on October 7, 1996, alleging severe psychological and emotional injury, or aggravation of same, arising out of her conditions at work. The trial court found that the statute of limitations had run on the plaintiff's claim prior to the filing of her complaint and dismissed the complaint. The court also made findings, for the record, that the plaintiff gave proper notice and that the plaintiff had failed to meet her burden of proving causation of a compensable injury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court dismissing plaintiff's complaint for the reasons herein stated.

03S01-9807-CH-00086
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with T.C.A. Section 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The plaintiff, Doug Black, appeals a determination that his disability is limited to 35 percent to the leg because of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The defendant, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (carrier for Roadway Express), asserts the award is excessive in that plaintiff sustained no vocational disability. Both parties assert there is no legal basis for the trial court to retain jurisdiction to modify the award if a court determines that the ADA does not apply. We agree that the result of a separate proceeding under the ADA has no bearing on the disability of the employee and accordingly modify the award. Doug Black was employed by Roadway Express as an over the road truck driver. On September 22, 1995, he injured his left leg as he was exiting his truck. Dr. Joe Luna, an orthopedic surgeon, treated the injury, found torn cartilage in the knee, and did arthroscopic surgery. After the surgery, Mr. Black continued to have mechanical symptoms and giving-away of the leg. In July 1996, a MRI revealed a possible torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Mr. Black had returned to work and postponed further surgery until November 1996. Dr. William L. Johnson, a partner of Dr. Luna, did a reconstruction of the torn ACL. Mr. Black recovered well from the second surgery, but had a cartilage deficit on the weight- bearing surface of the bone and underwent a third surgery for debridement and drilling of that region of his knee. Dr. Johnson testified, by deposition, that Mr. Black has an 18 percent permanent impairment to his leg as a result of the injury; the only permanent work restriction placed on him was that "he should have a cruise control on his truck, and that was primarily as a safety issue in controlling the foot pedals." Dr. Howard Brown, also an orthopedic surgeon, saw Mr. Black on May 22 and June 23, 1997 for a second opinion. Dr. Brown opined that he has a 1 percent permanent medical Black v Liberty Mutual Page 2
