Paula Van Slyke (Fleming) v. Philp Edward Fleming - Concurring
01-A-01-9504-CV-00178
Authoring Judge: Judge Ben H. Cantrell
Trial Court Judge: Judge Muriel Robinson

This case involves the question of whether a custodial parent may claim the benefit of changes in the child support guidelines promulgated after trial on her Petition for Increased Child Support, but before the trial court filed its Final Order. Because those changes were not raised in the  proceedings below, we decline to act on them here. Instead, we remand  the cause to the trial court for further proceedings.

State of Tennessee v. David Edward Howington
01S01-9407-CC-00073
Authoring Judge: Justice Adolpho A. Birch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Gasaway

The district attorney general refused to honor an informal immunity agreement1 made with David Edward Howington, the defendant. The reason stated for this refusal was the prosecutor's perception that Howington had not fulfilled his part of the bargain; that is, he had not testified truthfully at his preliminary hearing. He was subsequently tried and convicted of first-degree (felony) murder; he received a life sentence.

David E. Campbell v. State of Tennessee
01C01-9209-CR-00266
Authoring Judge: Judge Paul G. Summers
Trial Court Judge: Judge Walter C. Kurtz

The appellant, David Campbell, pled guilty in the Davidson County Criminal Court to second-degree murder in January 1988. He was sentenced to forty-two years confinement. He filed a post-conviction relief petition alleging that his original trial lawyer who represented him during the plea process was ineffective. The trial court held an evidentiary hearing and denied appellant relief. Campbell now appeals to this Court. We affirm the trial court's dismissal of the post-conviction relief petition.

The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, v. Nashville Park Hospitality, Inc.
01A01-9504-CH-00142
Authoring Judge: Judge David R. Farmer
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Robert S. Brandt

Appellant, Nashville Park Hospitality, Inc. ("Nashville Park"), is the owner of the Budget Lodge, a motel in Nashville consisting of three separate buildings identified as the 100, 200 and 300 Buildings. Ninety-six suites compose the 100 and 300 Buildings, with 92 available to the public and rented on a weekly basis. The 200 Building consists of standard motel rooms which are rented nightly. Appellee, the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County ("Metropolitan Government"), filed suit seeking to enjoin Nashville Park from operating the Budget Lodge in violation of the Hotel, Food, Service Establishment and Public Swimming Pool Inspection Act of 1985, T.C.A. § 68-14-301 et. seq. ("Act").1 After a hearing, the trial court granted Metropolitan Government's application for a permanent injunction, enjoining Nashville Park from operating Budget Lodge in violation of the Act. The court, however, refused to entertain the issue of whether the Act applied to the suites rented weekly,2 citing Nashville Park's failure to first exhaust its administrative remedies. Nashville Park has appealed, challenging that determination by the chancellor. For reasons to be discussed, we reverse that portion of the judgment holding the trial court without jurisdiction to decide the issue prior to an exhaustion of the administrative process.

Tennessee Department of Human Services, v. Tennessed Civil Service Commission and Frank Mahon
01A01-9504-CH-00143
Authoring Judge: Judge David R. Farmer
Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Irvin H. Kilcrease, Jr.

This appeal arises from the chancery court's reversal of a final order of the Tennessee Civil Service Commission (the Commission). The Commission's final order reinstated Appellant, Frank Mahon, an employee who had been dismissed by the Cocke County Department of Human Services (Cocke County DHS). The chancery court reversed the Commission's final order, finding that the final order was unsupported by substantial and material evidence in the record before the Commission.
