Posted by: Karen Belcher on Jan 9, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Edward Ronny Arnold, Nashville, Tennessee, Pro Se

Attorneys 2: Cyrus L. Booker, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the appellee, Allstate Insurance Company

Judge(s): USMAN

While a prior lawsuit was still pending on appeal, the Plaintiff filed a nearly identical lawsuit. The trial court dismissed this second suit based on res judicata. Although the second suit was not barred by res judicata because the first suit was not final for res judicata purposes, we nevertheless affirm the dismissal on the basis of the prior suit pending doctrine.
