MUSSHUR MEENER v. FEDERAL EXPRESS HUB, ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 12, 2025

Court: TN Workers Comp Appeals Board

Attorneys 1: Musshur Meener, Memphis, Tennessee, employee-appellant, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Joseph B. Baker, Memphis, Tennessee, for the employer-appellee, Federal Express Hub.

Judge(s): WEAVER

In this interlocutory appeal of the trial court’s denial of several of the employee’s motions, the employee alleges various injuries due to an incident at work. Prior to the issuance of a dispute certification notice, the employee filed a motion to compel the payment of temporary disability benefits, medical benefits, and mileage reimbursement. The employer objected, arguing that the employee’s motion was premature and that the employee’s requests for benefits would be more properly heard at an expedited hearing. After a mediator issued a dispute certification notice, the employee renewed his motion and requested an expedited hearing. After a subsequent status hearing, the trial court issued an order denying the employee’s motions as premature, stating it was appropriate to hear the requests at an expedited hearing, which it set. The employee has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s order, find the appeal frivolous, and remand the case.
