Raymond Hicks v. Wilbert Vault Company.
W1999-00182-WC-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: F. Lloyd Tatum, Senior Judge
Trial Court Judge: Joe C. Morris, Chancellor
This is an appeal by the employer, Wilbert Vault Company, from a judgment awarding worker's compensation benefits to the employee, Raymond Hicks, based upon a finding that the employee sustained 40 percent permanent partial disability to the body as a whole. On this appeal, the defendant/employer presents issues alleging that the trial court erred in finding that the plaintiff/employee sustained any permanent disability as a result of the work-related injury and that the award of 40 percent permanent partial disability to the body as whole was excessive and not supported by a preponderance of the evidence. Upon our de novo review, we find that the award should be based upon permanent partial disability of 30 percent to the body and modify the judgment accordingly.

Terry Howard vs. Jack Morgan, et al
M2000-00548-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Presiding Judge Patricia J. Cottrell
Trial Court Judge: Jeffrey S. Bivins
In this case, a prisoner appeals from dismissal of his lawsuit on the basis that the allegation of poverty in his affidavit of indigency was false. Because the record includes a certified copy of the prisoner's trust account statement showing a balance from $1,100 to over $1,200, we affirm.

William Garrett v. Board of Paroles
M2000-00219-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Ellen Hobbs Lyle
This appeal involves a dispute between a prisoner and the Tennessee Board of Paroles regarding the Board's decision to schedule his next consideration for parole in September 2003. Believing that his current sentence will expire in May 2002, the prisoner filed a petition for common-law writ of certiorari in the Chancery Court for Davidson County asserting that the Board had acted illegally by deferring its next consideration of his parole until after the expiration of his sentence. He also asserted that the Board had misunderstood the evidence presented at his 1998 parole hearing and that the Board improperly denied him parole because of the seriousness of his offense. After the trial court dismissed his petition, Mr. Garrett appealed to this court. We have determined that the prisoner sued the wrong party with regard to the sentence expiration date claim and that his remaining claims do not entitle him to the relief available in a certiorari proceeding. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's dismissal of the prisoner's petition.
