TRICAP CROSS CREEK ASSOCIATES LLC v. GABRIEL CORZO, ET AL.

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Mar 7, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Gabriel Corzo, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Vincent Jackson, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the appellee, Tricap Cross Creek Associates, LLC.

Judge(s): SWINEY

This appeal concerns a landlord/tenant dispute. Tricap Cross Creek Associates, LLC (“Plaintiff”), the landlord, filed a detainer action against Gabriel Corzo (“Defendant”), the tenant, in the General Sessions Court for Hamilton County. Judgment was entered for Plaintiff. Defendant appealed to the Circuit Court for Hamilton County (“the Trial Court”). Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment, which the Trial Court granted. Defendant appeals, arguing that genuine issues of material fact exist. Plaintiff asks, pursuant to the lease, for an award of attorney’s fees and costs incurred on appeal. As Defendant never responded to Plaintiff’s statement of undisputed material facts, he failed to show a genuine issue of material fact existed. We affirm. On remand, the Trial Court is to determine and award to Plaintiff its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred on appeal.
