JUDGMENT
First Paragraph:
This case is before the Court upon motion for review pursuant to Tenn.
Code Ann. S 50-6-225(e)(5)(B), the entire record, including the order of

Panel's Memorandum Opinion setting forth its findings of fact and
conclusions of law, which are incorporated herein by reference;
Whereupon, it appears to the Court that the motion for review is not
well taken and should be denied; and It is, therefore, ordered that the
Panel's findings of fact and conclusions of law are adopted and
affirmed, and the decision of the Panel is made the judgment of the
Court. Costs will be paid evenly by the parties, for which execution may
issue if necessary. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Judge:WOODALL
First Paragraph:
In this case, the Defendant, Corey Lemont Powell, appeals as of right
from the judgments of conviction for felony murder and especially
aggravated robbery. Indicted and tried for felony murder, premeditated
first degree murder, and especially aggravated robbery, the jury, on
these counts, found him guilty of felony murder, second degree murder,
and especially aggravated robbery. The trial court merged the second
degree murder conviction with the felony murder and Defendant was given
a life sentence. The trial court sentenced him to serve fifteen (15)
years for the conviction of especially aggravated robbery, concurrent to
the sentence of life imprisonment. Defendant presents nine (9) issues
for appellate review. This court initially affirmed the convictions.
The Defendant then timely filed a Petition to Rehear, which was granted.
The original opinion and judgment were vacated. The court ordered the
trial court to make certain findings of fact regarding Defendant's issue
challenging admissibility of his confession. After further briefing
following the trial court's supplemental findings of fact, the case was
then reargued. After review of the entire record, briefs and arguments
of counsel, and applicable law, we find that suppression of Defendant's
confession is required, and we therefore reverse the judgments of the
trial court and remand this case for a new trial.

First Paragraph:
This appeal involves a motorcycle rider who was injured by the
descending wooden arm of a traffic control device at an exit from the
short term parking area of the Nashville International Airport. The
motorcyclist filed suit in the Circuit Court for Davidson County against
the Metropolitan Airport Authority and the operator of the airport
parking facilities, alleging that they had failed to adequately warn him
of the potentially dangerous condition at the exit. The trial court
granted the defendants' motions for summary judgment, and the rider
appealed. We have determined that the defendants are not entitled to a
judgment as a matter of law based on this record and, therefore, vacate
the summary judgment order and remand the case for further proceedings.

Judge:PEAY
First Paragraph:
A jury found the defendant guilty of driving under the influence (DUI).
The defendant filed a motion for new trial, which was denied. She now
appeals, arguing that the trial court erred in denying her motion to
suppress because the arresting officer stopped her vehicle with neither
probable cause nor reasonable suspicion. She also argues that the trial
court abused its discretion by admitting into evidence her blood alcohol
test results because the State failed to establish chain of custody and
exclude the possibility of tampering. Finding no merit in these
arguments, we affirm.

In this action filed against Defendant Russ Burczak for amounts due
under accounts maintained by the Plaintiffs, the trial court awarded
$2,227.07 to Plaintiff Thomson and Thomson ("Thomson") and $2,734.00 to
Plaintiff Construction Products, Inc. ("CPI"). Thomson and CPI appeal
the amount of the judgments, arguing that the trial court erred with
respect to its calculation of the amount of credit that Mr. Burczak
should have received for subcontracting work that he performed for
Thomson. Because the evidence does not preponderate against this
calculation, we affirm the ruling of the trial court.

This is a declaratory judgment action brought by an insurance company
under a homeowner's policy against the insured, as well as her son and
her daughter-in-law. The insured's house was damaged by fire. The
insurance company contended that the fire was intentionally set. The
insurance company alleged that the insured failed to cooperate with the
investigation by declining to direct her son and daughter-in-law to
submit to an examination under oath, and also contended that the son and
daughter-in-law were required to submit to examination under oath. The
insurance company filed a motion for leave to file a third-party
complaint against the son and daughter-in-law. The trial court denied
the insurance company's motion for leave to file a third party
complaint, granted a motion to dismiss in favor of the son and
daughter-in law, and granted the insured's motion for summary judgment.
We affirm.

against the defendant upon its determination that he was illegally
arrested and searched. The state contends that the defendant was
lawfully arrested for criminal trespass and that the marijuana
discovered was lawfully found pursuant to the arrest. We reverse the
dismissal order and remand the case to the trial court for a
determination of whether the defendant had notice that he did not have
the owner's consent to be on the property on which he was arrested for
trespassing.

First Paragraph:
Defendant, Joe Frank Boyd, pled guilty to one hundred forty-one counts
of Class C, D and E thefts. Sentences for each offense were agreed upon
in defendant's plea agreement. However, the manner of service and the
consecutive/concurrent nature of service were left to the trial court.
After a hearing, the trial court ordered partial consecutive sentencing
for an effective sentence of eighteen years. In this appeal as of
right, defendant challenges the trial court's imposition of consecutive
sentencing. Upon our review of the record, we AFFIRM the trial court's
decision to impose partial consecutive sentencing. However, because the
record contains discrepancies as to the actual number of years defendant
was ordered to serve, we must REMAND this matter for entry of proper
judgments.

First Paragraph:
The Defendant, Charles Woodruff, was indicted by the Gibson County Grand
Jury on September 15, 1997 on four charges, all arising from a single
drug transaction: possession of cocaine with intent to sell or deliver,
delivery of cocaine, sale of cocaine, and possession of cocaine. On May
22, 1998, the Defendant was tried before a jury and found guilty of the
sale of cocaine. The trial court sentenced him as a Range III
persistent offender to ten years incarceration, and as fixed by the
jury, he was fined $2,000. Pursuant to Rule 3 of the Tennessee Rules of
Appellate Procedure, the Defendant now appeals his conviction,
presenting only one issue for our review: whether his indictment was
void for failure to sufficiently allege a culpable mental state. We
affirm the judgment of the trial court.
