W2002-00965-COA-R3-CV
This is an appeal of a denial of a petition for a common law writ of certiorari. The petition was filed by a prisoner seeking review of two decisions against him by the prison disciplinary board. Because the petition was filed more than sixty days after the first decision, we have no jurisdiction to address the issues presented regarding that decision. The petition was timely filed in regards to the second decision against Appellant, but we find no merit in Appellant's contentions and affirm the ruling of the trial court.

| Bruce Martin vs. Beverly Martin
W2002-00819-COA-R3-CV
This is a divorce case. Prior to their marriage, the husband and the wife executed a prenuptial agreement. The agreement stated that upon divorce, if jointly-held property were sold, each party would be credited his or her share of separate property contributed to the purchase of the jointly-held property, with the remaining funds divided according to each party's ownership share. After the parties married, they purchased land with the intention of converting it into a catfish farm. The husband and the wife both contributed financially towards the purchase of the land. Both parties worked full time. The husband used his machinery that he owned separately and expended labor to convert the land to a catfish farm. The wife maintained their home. The parties divorced. At the divorce hearing, the husband argued that, under the terms of the prenuptial agreement, he should be credited for his labor and the use of his heavy machinery to improve the farm land. The trial court declined to do so, and credited the husband and the wife with their respective financial contributions. The parties' personal property was divided equally. The husband appeals, arguing that he should have been credited for his labor and the use of his heavy machinery, and also disputing the division of the personal property. The wife asserts that she should have received a larger percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the property. We affirm.
