State of Tennessee, ex rel., Claudia Agee, v. J.C. Chapman, Jr.

01A01-9506-CV-00231

This is an appeal from a judgment of the lower court finding the respondent in contempt for failing to pay child support. The lower court sentenced the respondent to six months in jail but allowed him to remain free if he complied with the court's current support order and remained within the state. On appeal, the respondent argues that he had no notice of the original support order, that he was not given proper notice of the contempt charges, that the trial judge improperly denied his request for a jury, and that the trial judge erred in denying him the right to leave the state. In accordance with the following opinion we reverse the lower court's sentence for contempt and its injunction against leaving the state. Otherwise, we affirm.

Larry D. Turnley, Pro Se vs. State

M2003-02153-CCA-R3-HC
The Petitioner, Larry D. Turnley, appeals the trial court's dismissal of his petition for the writ of habeas corpus, which was treated as a petition for post- conviction relief by the trial court. The State has filed a motion requesting that this Court affirm the trial court's denial of relief pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. The Petitioner filed his petition outside the statute of limitations for post-conviction purposes. Moreover, the petitioner is incarcerated in a federal prison, and federal prisoners are specifically excluded from state habeas corpus relief. Accordingly, the State's motion is granted, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Bessie Lee King v. Davidson (NMN) Taylor - Concurring

02A01-9504-CV-000

This appeal arises out of a paternity action filed by the Plaintiff-Appellee, Bessie Lee King, against the Defendant-Appellant, Davidson Taylor, to establish the paternity of King's minor child, Davene. The action was originally filed in the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County, but was transferred to Circuit Court after Mr. Taylor requested a jury trial. Mr.  Taylor, Ms. King, and Davene submitted to a blood test. The sworn blood test results, which accompanied Appellee's motion for summary judgment, established that Mr. Taylor had a 99.65% probability of being Davene's father. Relying on both the blood test and T.C.A. § 24-7-112(b)(2) (Michie 1994), the trial court granted Ms. King's motion for summary judgment. Mr. Taylor appeals the decision of the trial court.
