Patrick McCollum v. Dan Huffstutter

M2002-00051-COA-R3-CV
This is an appeal from a Judgment on a jury verdict for Plaintiff. Plaintiff sued Defendant on grounds of trespass, abuse of process, and outrageous conduct arising from Defendant's attempt to serve a writ of possession at Plaintiff's place of business. A jury found for Plaintiff on all grounds. Defendant appeals, alleging seven grounds for reversal: (1) The Trial Court erred in not dismissing the complaint on the grounds of an executed Settlement Agreement and Full Release of All Claims; (2) The Trial Court erred in failing to grant a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence; (3) The Trial Court erred in not granting Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment, and in failing to grant the Defendant's Motion for Directed Verdict; (4) The jury verdict should be set aside and the complaint dismissed on the grounds of an oral agreement not to file civil proceedings; (5) The Trial Court erred in failing to give the special instructions requested by the Defendant; (6) The Trial Court erred in not granting a new trial on the grounds of improper conduct by counsel for the Plaintiff; (7) The verdict and remittitur were excessive and given under the influence of passion and prejudice. We affirm.

State vs. Anthony Jerome Stokes

E1999-00953-CCA-R3-CD
The defendant entered guilty pleas in 1995 to one count of murder in the first degree and one count of murder in the second degree, the sentences to be served consecutively. In 1997, he testified as a prosecution witness at the trial of a co-defendant in the homicide cases. In 1999, he filed a petition to enforce an alleged agreement with the State that he would be resentenced to concurrent sentences in exchange for this testimony. The trial court denied the petition and he timely appealed. Based upon our review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Ricky Lee Beamon vs. State

E1999-00614-CCA-R3-CD
This appeal arises from the trial court's denial of the petitioner's post-conviction petition. On December 1, 1996, the petitioner was found guilty by a Hamilton County jury of aggravated burglary and theft over $500. The convictions were affirmed on appeal. On August 4, 1997, the petitioner filed a pro se petition for post-conviction relief, which was denied by the trial court after an evidentiary hearing. The petitioner now appeals the denial of his petition. After careful review, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Janice F. Roberts vs. Stevie D. Davis, et al

M2000-01974-COA-R3-CV
On May 17, 1995, Plaintiff Janice Roberts and her husband Max Nichols were involved in an automobile accident with the Defendant Food Lion, Inc. and their driver Stevie D. Davis. The accident occurred on Interstate 24. Plaintiff Roberts sued the Defendants in the Circuit Court of Davidson County seeking a recovery of $270,000 for injuries and various amounts of damages she sustained as a result of the accident. A bench trial was held on May 1, 2000. On May 4, 2000 the trial court by Memorandum and Order found that Plaintiff Roberts was entitled to recover $25,000 for reasonable and necessary medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and for some diminution in earning capacity. On June 2, 2000, Plaintiff Roberts filed a motion for new trial, which was subsequently denied by the trial court on July 7, 2000. This appeal followed. Plaintiff Roberts insists that the trial court erred in not granting a motion for continuance; not allowing the deposition testimony of a witness; in its award of damages; and by not allocating monies for future medical expenses.

State vs. Marcus Terry

W2000-01747-CCA-R3-PC
The Appellant, Marcus A. Terry, appeals the dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. Terry is currently serving a thirty-year sentence as a result of two convictions by a Shelby County jury for vehicular homicide. On appeal, Terry asserts: (1) that he received ineffective assistance of counsel at trial; and (2) that the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury that he could potentially receive consecutive sentences for his multiple convictions. After review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
