Jontae A. Fischiettie v. Econo Auto Painting of West Tennessee, Inc.

Appellant brought this action after his car was painted the wrong color. During the course
of the proceedings, the trial court ordered the parties to submit to mediation subject to
certain guidelines requiring good faith participation, denied Appellant’s motion to recuse,
granted Appellees’ motion for partial summary judgment as to Appellant’s claim for
punitive damages, and ultimately granted Appellees’ motion to confess judgment as to
Appellant’s claims for breach of contract and negligence. Appellant appeals each of these
rulings. We reverse the trial court’s ruling as to Appellees’ motion to confess judgment,
but affirm in all other respects.
