State vs. Helen Cumberbatch
E2000-00047-CCA-R3-CD
Authoring Judge: Judge David H. Welles
Trial Court Judge: Rebecca J. Stern
The Defendant appeals as of right from the trial court's revocation of her community corrections sentence. She argues that the trial court erred in revoking her community corrections sentence based on unreliable, undocumented hearsay evidence that she had failed a drug screen. The State asserts that the Defendant has waived appellate review of the admission of the hearsay evidence because she failed to object at the hearing. We hold that the trial judge properly considered the hearsay evidence, and she did not abuse her discretion in revoking community corrections because the evidence was sufficient to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the Defendant had violated the conditions of community corrections by using cocaine. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court revoking the Defendant's community corrections sentence.

Corporate Catering, Inc. vs. Corporate Catering, Etc., LLC, et al
M1997-00230-COA-R3-CV
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.
Trial Court Judge: Walter C. Kurtz
This appeal involves a dispute over the use of a defunct catering business's trade name and menu. The owner of the catering business filed suit in the Circuit Court for Davidson County seeking damages for conversion, breach of common-law copyright, and infringement of its business trade name and the distinctive names of its menu items. The trial court granted the defendants' motions for directed verdict regarding the conversion and the common-law copyright claims. After the jury returned a $12,500 verdict on the infringement of the trade name claim, the trial court granted the defendants' motion for a judgment in accordance with their motion for a directed verdict. In the alternative, the trial court, acting as thirteenth juror, set the verdict aside and granted a new trial. On this appeal, the defunct catering business asserts that the trial court erred by dismissing its claims for conversion and breach of common-law copyright. It also asserts that the trial court erred by failing to enter a judgment on the jury's verdict on the trade name claim. We have determined that the trial court decisions are supported by the law, and therefore, we affirm.
