Court:TCA Attorneys: Gary R. Patrick, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for appellant, Walter Ansel Rogers, Jr. John C. Cavett, Jr., attorney for appellees, Joann Potts, Wanda Sue Gann, Donnie Rogers, George Rogers, and Darlene Parrott. Allen L. McCallie, Chattanooga, Tennessee, attorney for appellee, North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy. Judge: INMAN First Paragraph: In 1987 six (6) siblings acquired by intestate succession, a 115-acre tract, mostly flood plain unimproved land bordering North Chickamauga Creek near Hixson, Tennessee. Five (5) of the owners filed a partition action against their brother whose residence adjoined an upland portion of the 115 acres that was not subject to flooding. A consent judgment was entered in 1998 that the entire acreage would be sold and the net proceeds divided equally among the six (6) owners. But the consent judgment also provided that if no offer to purchase for $1,734,150.00 was received, the property would not be sold without unanimous consent or upon further order of the court. Four years later the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy offered $800,000.00 which was accepted by the plaintiffs, and disdained by the defendant, who apparently wanted the upland tract of 19 acres adjoining his residence as his partitioned share. The court ordered the property sold for partition. We modify as to the real estate commission and affirm. http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCA/pottsjoann.wpd STATE OF TENNESSEE v.
