M1999-02811-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a bitter custody dispute over three children between the ages of nine and fourteen. During the divorce proceeding in the Chancery Court for Dickson County, the parties agreed that the mother would have custody of the children and also agreed on visitation arrangements that accommodated the mother's planned move to another state. Several months after the entry of the divorce decree, the father petitioned to change custody and to hold the mother in contempt for interfering with his relationship with the children. During the ensuing three years, the parties traded allegations of sexual and physical abuse of the children and other misconduct. Following a bench trial in December 1998, the trial court found that there had been a material change in the children's circumstances and granted the father custody of the children. On this appeal, the mother asserts that she was denied due process by the trial court's refusal to require the parties and their children to undergo a psychological examination and that the trial court unlawfully delegated its judicial authority to a psychologist who had been counseling the children. We have determined that the mother received an essentially fair hearing on this custody dispute and, therefore, affirm the trial court.

M1999-02805-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves the efforts of two Atlantic City casinos to collect the gambling debts of a Tennessee resident. After obtaining default judgments against the Tennessee resident in New Jersey, the casinos twice attempted to file their judgments in the Chancery Court for Putnam County in accordance with the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act. On both occasions, the trial court declined to file the judgments after finding that they were irregular and that they were not properly authenticated. On the second occasion, the trial court also concluded that its refusal to file the first set of judgments precluded the casinos from filing the second set of judgments. The casinos have appealed. We have determined that the second set of judgments meet the requirements for filing and enforcement under the Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act and that the casinos' unsuccessful efforts to file the first set of judgments does not prevent them from filing the second set of judgments. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's order denying the application to enforce the foreign judgments.

M1998-00978-COA-R3-CV
This appeal involves a former spouse's right to post-judgment interest on an award of alimony in solido. After her former husband failed to pay the alimony in solido required by the final divorce decree, the former wife filed a petition in the Circuit Court for Davidson County seeking $9,847.68 in post-judgment interest. The trial court recognized that the post-judgment interest had accrued but decided not to award the interest to the former wife unless her former husband failed to make his future periodic alimony payments in a timely manner. When her former husband began to pay his alimony payments late, the former wife renewed her request for the post-judgment interest. The trial court found that the former husband had been delinquent in his alimony payments but again declined to order the former husband to pay the post-judgment interest if he prepaid the remaining balance of his periodic alimony. The former wife has appealed from the trial court's repeated refusal to award her the post-judgment interest on her alimony in solido award. We have determined that the former wife was entitled to post-judgment interest as a matter of law and, therefore, that the trial court erred by failing to award her $9,847.68 for post-judgment interest.

| Michael Paul Watson v. Plumley Rubber Co., Inc., Itt Hartford Ins. Grp.
02S01-9807-CV-00067
This workers' compensation appeal has been referred to the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel of the Supreme Court in accordance with Tenn. Code Ann. _ 5-6-225(e)(3) for hearing and reporting to the Supreme Court of findings of fact and conclusions of law. The defendant, Plumley Rubber Company, Inc., and its workers' compensation insurance carrier, ITT Hartford Insurance Company, have appealed from a judgment of the trial court awarding plaintiff workers' compensation on the basis of twenty- five percent permanent partial vocational disability to both arms. On this appeal, the defendants present three issues: (1) whether the plaintiff sustained a compensable injury; (2) whether the trial court erred in ordering the employer to pay for unauthorized medical expenses when the plaintiff refused a panel of physicians offered him; and (3) whether the trial court's award is excessive. After a careful review of the record, we find that we must affirm the judgment of the trial court. The plaintiff testified that he was born August 2, 1955 and was the father of two minor children living at home. He had a high school education and, through Army training, was qualified as a biomedical repairman and in aircraft maintenance. He worked in maintenance for Plumley on two occasions: from 1987 to 199 and then from 1993 to June 12, 1996. He testif ied that, while working for Plumley, he did various types of work. He changed molds, as well as working on machines and setting up machines. He worked with lasers and robots. He testified that he worked "ten, twelve, sixteen hours" each day. He testified that he used wrenches constantly, loosened and tightened bolts. He tightened small bolts and large bolts, and much of this work was strenuous. He testified that he had no difficulty with his hands before he went to work for Plumley in 1993. Around June 15, 1995, while breaking a bolt loose, he felt his right wrist "give." The plaintiff testified that he reported this incident to his supervisor, and the supervisor sent him to Dr. Terry O. Harrison, a panel doctor for the defendant. Dr. Harrison diagnosed the plaintiff's condition as carpal tunnel syndrome and told him to use his left hand to perform his job. The plaintiff testified that he complied with Dr. Harrison's 2
