HBO Direct, Inc., v. Ruth E. Johnson, Commissioner of Revenue, State of Tennessee

01A01-9804-CH-00221

This case involves a contest of Tennessee sales and use tax assessed by the defendant Tennessee Commissioner of Revenue. The plaintiff satellite programming television company argues that its services are not taxable telecommunications because, as “broadcast[s] . . . for public consumption,” the satellite television services are excluded from the definition of taxable telecommunications. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the plaintiff satellite programming television company. The defendant Commissioner appeals. We affirm.

Eddie Dorris, et al vs. Jeffery Crisp

M2000-02170-COA-R3-CV
Over four months after signing a surrender of her parental rights and consent for her minor child to be adopted, Appellee filed a Petition to Set Aside Surrender on the basis of a procedural defect. The Chancellor held that Appellee had abandoned the child, that the surrender executed by Appellee on June 24, 1999 should be set aside because there was no home study performed prior to the surrender, and dismissed the petitions for adoption. The Chancellor ordered the child returned to the custody of Appellee, which order was stayed by this Court September 19, 2000. The adoptive parents appeal raising the following issues for consideration: (1) Whether the mother has standing to attack the surrender on the basis of a lack of a home study, (2) whether the surrender is valid, and (3) whether the trial court was limited to the criteria set forth in Tennessee Code Annotated section 36-1-113(h) in determining whether termination of parental rights was in the child's best interests. We reverse and find the surrender valid.
