Jack Parks ex rel. Michael Parks vs. Timothy Hopkins

Jack Parks, in his capacity as Conservator for his son, Michael Parks, sued Timothy Hopkins seeking compensatory and punitive damages based upon allegations essentially reciting that the defendant wrongfully converted funds belonging to the plaintiff's ward, who is apparently incompetent to handle his own affairs. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's proof at a bench trial, the defendant moved to dismiss the complaint pursuant to Tenn. R. Civ. P. 41.02. The trial court found that the complaint was filed outside the applicable statutes of limitations and that the plaintiff had not sustained his burden of proof "under any theory." A judgment was entered dismissing the complaint in its entirety. We affirm.
