Emma Crowe v. Diocese of Memphis Housing Corp
02S01-9807-CH-00071
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.

Zonge vs. Woodall
M1998-00800-COA-R3-CV
Appellant, a pro se prisoner, brought this legal malpractice action against the appointed appellate counsel in his criminal case. Appellant argued that his conviction would have been reversed but for Appellee's failure to assert in his criminal appeal that the trial court committed reversible error by forcing Appellant to attend trial in prison garb. That argument was made in a supplemental brief filed by Appellant's new appellate counsel and was rejected by the Court of Criminal Appeals. The trial court in this malpractice action granted Appellee's motion for summary judgment. We affirm because Appellant has failed to establish a breach of the standard of care or that he was damaged by counsel's decision not to make an argument which was, in fact, made by new counsel and was unsuccessful.

Fann v. Advance Transformer Co.
03S01-9811-CH-00124
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. Review of the findings of fact made by the trial court is de novo upon the record of the trial court, accompanied by a presumption of the correctness of the findings, unless the preponderance of the evidence is otherwise. Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6- 225(e)(2); Stone v. City of McMinnville, 896 S.W.2d 548, 55 (Tenn. 1995). The application of this standard requires this Court to weigh in more depth the factual findings and conclusions of the trial court in a workers' compensation case. See Corcoran v. Foster Auto GMC, Inc., 746 S.W.2d 452, 456 (Tenn. 1988). The trial judge found the plaintiff had suffered 4 percent permanent partial disability to both upper arms. The defendant raises two issues on appeal: (1) whether the trial judge erred in awarding disability benefits against the defendant and (2) whether the award of disability benefits to the plaintiff was contrary to the preponderance of the evidence. We affirm the judgment. The plaintiff began employment with the defendant in July or August of 1996. The plaintiff used computers, calculators, typewriters, word processors, fax machines, copiers, forklifts, micrometers, calipers, and other gauges in various jobs he performed for the defendant. In November 1996, the plaintiff began to experience problems with his hands. Dr. Cletus J. McMahon treated the plaintiff and in July 1997 did carpal tunnel surgery on both arms. After the surgery, the plaintiff returned to work for the defendant but was laid off two days later. The plaintiff was not recalled when other employees were recalled to work by the defendant. 2

Woods v. Modine Appeal
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
