M1999-02398-COA-R3-CV
This appeal arises from the dissolution of a four-year marriage. The wife sought a divorce in the Circuit Court for Rutherford County because of the husband's chronic drunkenness, non-support, and threats of violence. Following a bench trial, the court granted the wife a divorce on the ground of inappropriate marital conduct. The trial court also divided the martial estate, gave the wife custody of the parties' four-year-old daughter, and directed the husband to pay child support. On this appeal, the husband asserts that the trial court erred in its classification and division of the marital property, that the trial court awarded an excessive amount of child support, and that the trial court erred by denying his request to place a portion of his child support in an educational trust fund. For her part, the wife requests an additional award to defray her legal expenses for this appeal. We conclude that the trial court (1) correctly classified and divided the marital estate, (2) properly sequestered a portion of the husband's assets to assure the timely and regular payment of his child support, and (3) properly declined to establish an educational trust fund for the child. We also conclude that the trial court erred by failing to direct the trial court clerk to return the remainder of the sequestered funds to the husband when his child support obligation ceased. In addition, we decline to award the wife her legal expenses for this appeal or to find that this appeal was frivolous.

This appeal involves a freakish accident in which a shard from a broken dinner plate caused a restaurant patron to lose the sight in her left eye. The patron and her husband filed suit against the waitress who dropped the plate and the restaurant in the Circuit Court for Putnam County seeking damages for her injuries and for his loss of consortium. Following a three-day trial, the jury awarded the patron $2,013,000. On this appeal, the restaurant takes issue with several of the trial court’s evidentiary rulings, the trial court’s verdict form, and the trial court’s refusal to grant a remittitur. We affirm the judgment.

The petitioner appeals the trial court's dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus relief. The trial court determined that the allegations contained in the petitioner's pro se petition were not ones that would entitle him to habeas corpus relief, and therefore dismissed his petition. After a careful review of the record, we affirm the trial court's dismissal of the petition.

| Johnny McGowan, Jr. vs. State
M2003-01759-CCA-R3-HC
The Petitioner, Johnny L. McGowan, Jr., pled guilty in 1994 to aggravated arson, arson, six counts of reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and two counts of vandalism, and the trial court sentenced him to twenty years in prison, to be served concurrently with a sentence from a previous conviction. In 2003, the Petitioner filed two pro se petitions for writs of habeas corpus in case numbers 27902 and 27903 alleging that his guilty pleas were not entered knowingly and voluntarily and requesting that the trial court appoint him counsel. The trial court summarily dismissed the petitions because it found that the Petitioner's claims, considered in the light most favorable to him, would at best render his convictions voidable and not void. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the trial court erred by denying his request for appointment of counsel and by dismissing his petitions because there were "fatal variances" between the indictments and the evidence contained in the record. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the trial court's judgments.
