Posted by: Azya Thornton on May 28, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. Lewis Jenkins Jr., Charles M. Agee, Jr., Dyersburg, Tennessee, for the appellant, Gladys Claire Bowen.

Attorneys 2: Joseph M. Clark, Samantha E. Bennett, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellees, Gregory Carl Bruno, M.D., and Jackson Radiology Associates, P.A.

Judge(s): MCGEE

Plaintiff appeals the trial court’s decision to exclude the testimony of her proffered expert for failure to comply with the locality rule. Plaintiff also appeals the grant of summary of judgment based on the exclusion of that expert. Finding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the testimony, we affirm that ruling. Additionally, we affirm the trial court’s decision to grant summary judgment as the excluded testimony was the only evidence offered regarding the applicable standard of care.
