Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Howard L. Upchurch and Stacy H. Farmer, Pikeville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Anna Marie Black and Michael D. Black.

Attorneys 2: C. Douglas Fields, Crossville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Robert C. Simmons.

Judge(s): SWINEY

In the Chancery Court for Bledsoe County (“the Trial Court”), Robert Simmons (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint for declaratory judgment against his neighbors, Michael and Anna Marie Black (“Defendants”) to establish the correct common boundary line between their two properties. Two competing surveys were presented to the Trial Court, but only one surveyor testified. The Trial Court found Plaintiff’s surveyor, the testifying surveyor, credible and established the common boundary line in accordance with Plaintiff’s survey. Defendants have appealed. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm.
