Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 25, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Terrance D. Woods, Lexington, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; J. Matthew Rice, Solicitor General; and Joseph P. Ahillen, Senior Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): DAVIS

Following the death of his minor child, the appellant filed suit against the State of Tennessee in the Tennessee Claims Commission (the “Claims Commission”) asserting claims for wrongful death and for violation of his rights as a crime victim. The Claims Commission granted partial summary judgment and partial judgment on the pleadings in favor of the State. The appellant appeals the judgment of the Claims Commission. Having determined that the appellant’s brief is not compliant with the relevant rules of briefing in this Court, we conclude that his issues purportedly raised on appeal are waived. The appeal is dismissed.
