01-A-01-9708-CV-00380
Authoring Judge: Judge Henry F. Todd
Trial Court Judge: Judge Walter C. Kurtz

Two former Salvation Army officers, a husband and wife who had been demoted and discharged, sued their superior officers and The Salvation Army itself for invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and outrageous conduct. The Circuit Court of Davidson County dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We affirm, and hold, in addition, that the defendants’ actions were protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Broderick Kelsey v. Kraft Food Service
03S01-9710-CH-00121
Authoring Judge: Joe C. Loser, Jr., Special Judge
Trial Court Judge: Hon. Howell Peoples,
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. section 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellants contend the trial court's award of benefits based on six times the medical impairment rating is excessive. The appellee contends the award is inadequate because the chancellor erred in "finding three of the four factors listed under Tenn. Code Ann. section 5-6- 242 were not proven by clear and convincing evidence" and that the award of benefits based on forty-two percent to the body as a whole is inadequate. The appellee also contends the chancellor erred in failing to award its vocational expert's fee as discretionary costs. As discussed below, the panel has concluded the judgment should be affirmed. At the time of the trial, the claimant, Kelsey was thirty-five years old and a high school graduate. Following high school graduation, he served three years in the United States Army, where he worked as a warehouseman and equipment operator. He has worked as a truck driver. He worked for the employer, Kraft Food Services, for about two years until June 27, 1995, when he suffered a compensable back injury while lifting a case of potatoes. He has not worked since. The treating physician, Dr. Seiters, diagnosed a protruding or bulging disc, provided conservative care and estimated his permanent medical impairment at seven percent to the body as a whole. The doctor further opined the claimant reached maximum medical improvement on November 15, 1995 and could return to light work. The treating physician and another doctor who had first examined the claimant were of the opinion that the claimant could be exaggerating his symptoms. At the trial, the claimant gave conflicting testimony concerning his ability to read. On direct examination, he testified that he could not read. On 2

Stephen W. Murphy vs. State
M2000-00014-CCA-R3-PC
Trial Court Judge: J. Randall Wyatt, Jr.
The petitioner appeals as of right from the Davidson County Criminal Court's denial of post-conviction relief. The petitioner pled guilty in 1998 to two counts of theft and was sentenced as a career offender to twelve years for D felony theft and six years for an E felony theft. The sentences were statutorily required to be served consecutively. Petitioner filed a timely pro se petition seeking post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel and involuntary and unknowing guilty pleas. After an evidentiary hearing, the post-conviction court denied relief. Based upon our review, we affirm the post-conviction court's denial of the petitioner's request for post-conviction relief.

Frances Blanchard vs. Arlene Kellum, D.D.S.

State vs. Preston Fisher
W2000-00906-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge Gary R Wade
The defendant, Preston Fisher, was convicted of theft of property over $10,000.00. The trial court imposed a Range I, five-year sentence and required service of 120 days in jail, after which the defendant was to be placed upon intensive probation. Following a probation violation by his use of marijuana, the defendant was placed in a Community Corrections program which required one year of drug and alcohol treatment at the Synergy Foundation followed by four years of supervision. After the defendant failed to pursue treatment at Synergy, the trial court ordered that he serve his sentence in the Department of Correction. In this appeal of right, the defendant contends that the trial court erred by the revocation of the Community Corrections sentence. The judgment is affirmed.
