Doris Sanders v. Samuel Sanders, Jr. M1998-00978-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Marietta M. Shipley 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.

Boardwalk Regency Corp. v. Roy Patterson and Trump Taj Mahal Assoc. v. Roy Patterson M1999-02805-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Vernon Neal 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.	Putnam	Court of Appeals	08/24/99

In the Matter of Asbert Joseph M1999-02795-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Robert L. Jones This appeal involves a state prisoner's efforts to change his name in accordance with the tenets of the Nation of Islam. The prisoner filed his petition in the Chancery Court for Wayne County. The trial court summarily dismissed the petition even though it was uncontested, and the prisoner has appealed to this court. We affirm the dismissal of the petition solely because the prisoner neither alleged nor proved that he was a resident of Wayne County when he filed the petition.	Wayne	Court of Appeals	08/17/99
Rocky Michael Bruce and Cheryl Bruce v.

They were granted temporary custody of the child pending a hearing on the matter. After two hearings, the trial court ordered that custody remain with the paternal grandparents pending the results of home studies of each party seeking custody, i.e., the mother and the paternal grandparents. The trial court held additional hearings after receiving the results of the home studies and awarded custody to the paternal grandparents. We affirm the trial court.	Warren	Court of Appeals	08/17/99

Ronnie Bradfield, v. Steve Dotson, et al. 02A01-9902-CV-00060 Authoring Judge: Judge David R. Farmer Trial Court Judge: Judge R. Lee Moore, Jr. This is the third occasion which this Court has had to address the merits of this case.

The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, holding that the Tennessee Claims Commission had exclusive jurisdiction over the matter. The trial court also denied the plaintiff's requests for default judgment. . . .		Court of Appeals	08/16/99
