GULCH, LLC v. THOMAS ALEXANDER FORD

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 19, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Thomas Alexander Ford, Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Trevor S. Baskin, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Gulch, LLC.

Judge(s): USMAN

A landlord filed a detainer action in general sessions court against a tenant, seeking possession of the property and unpaid rent. The tenant agreed to move out, and the rent obligation was later discharged by a third party. The tenant filed an appeal to circuit court, and the circuit court dismissed the case, finding that the tenant did not appeal within ten days of the general sessions court’s judgment. The tenant appealed. On appeal, the tenant, appearing pro se, does not address the basis of the circuit court’s dismissal of the case, an untimely appeal from general sessions court to circuit court. Because the tenant has not challenged the basis of the circuit court’s ruling, we dismiss the appeal.
