The appellant, Paul J. Swanson, appeals the sentencing decision of the Grainger County Criminal Court following his guilty pleas to three counts of attempted aggravated sexual battery, class C felonies. Pursuant to the terms of the negotiated plea agreement, the appellant agreed to an effective six year sentence. The agreement further provided that the manner of service of the sentences was to be submitted to the trial court for determination. The trial court ordered total confinement. The appellant appeals this decision contending that the trial court erred in failing to grant alternative sentences and in failing to credit the appellant with time spent in a residential sexual offender treatment center prior to entry of his guilty pleas.

The defendant, Travis E. Sharpe, appeals as of right from the judgment of the Hamblen County Criminal Court. The defendant pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced to eight years as a Range I standard offender, with a release eligibility date of thirty percent. The defendant appeals the trial court’s sentencing decision, arguing the trial court erred in not sentencing him as an especially mitigated offender pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-35-109 (1997). Based upon our review of this matter, we affirm the sentencing decision of the court below.

03S01-9806-CV-00064
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. The employee, C. Douglas Gibson, has appealed from the action of the trial court in dismissing his claim for permanent disability benefits. The sole issue on appeal is whether the evidence preponderates against the conclusion of the trial court. Plaintiff was 47 years of age and had completed the 9th grade. He was employed by defendant, William Gibson, as a truck driver. On August 9, 1995, he fell while descending from his truck. He testified he felt immediate pain in his low back and felt it resulted more from the twisting movement of his body rather than the impact with the ground. He reported the incident to his employer, saw a doctor shortly thereafter and was eventually seen by several doctors between the date of the accident and the trial during September 1997. Plaintiff's wife and daughter testified as to his physical limitations since the incident and the record indicates plaintiff never returned to work for defendant. Dr. Christopher R. Morris, a physician specializing in internal medicine and rheumatology, first saw plaintiff on October 24, 1995 and found some tenderness in his back muscles but thought he had a good range of motion. He saw him on several occasions and testified by deposition stating that all studies (x-ray and C.T. Scan) were normal. He felt his back pain was of a chronic nature and opined he had some permanent impairment but did not have an opinion as to any percentage of impairment. Dr. John M. Marshall, a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor, first saw plaintiff on December 6, 1995 upon referral by Dr. Morris. He testified by deposition and stated there were no positive findings from his examination and the various studies performed. He was of the opinion he probably had a strain which would eventually clear up. He could not relate any of his symptoms to the incident at work and stated there was no permanent impairment. 2

03S01-9804-CV-00043
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. The employer, Rittenhouse, Inc., has appealed from the trial court's award of permanent disability to each arm. The award was fixed at 75% to the right arm and 6% to the left arm. The employee, Deborah Barnes, was 46 years of age and is a high school graduate. She had worked for Rittenhouse for a number of years when she began to develop numbness and tingling in her hands. She was diagnosed with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and had surgery on each hand. After some period of recovery, she returned to work and was working at the time of the trial. She testified that surgery helped to some extent but she was still experiencing problems especially with her right hand. She said she still had a great deal of pain, finger numbness and trouble holding objects unless she used both hands. She said she could not do much housework and that co-workers assisted her in performing work duties. She also complained that her treating doctor (Dr. Ambrosia) did not want to listen to her about what her work duties required and that he released her to return to work without notifying her about the release and that he also released her to return to work without any physical restrictions. The medical notes of Dr. John M. Ambrosia were filed in evidence. He performed the surgical procedures on each hand and gave a 4% medical impairment to each arm. His medical notes seem to support plaintiff's contention she was released to work without any restrictions on her work activity. Dr. Wayne C. Page, a family practice doctor specializing in occupational medicine, examined plaintiff. He testified by deposition and gave a diagnosis of (1) bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with residual symptoms and (2) tendinitis, hands and wrists. He opined she had 36% impairment to her right arm and 28% impairment to the left arm. He was also of the opinion she should not do any repetitive tasks with her hands and imposed restrictions of lifting, etc. 2
