Posted by: Azya Thornton on Mar 23, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jontae A. Fischiettie, Millington, Tennessee, Pro se.

Attorneys 2: Richard Glassman and James F. Horner, Jr., Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellees, David Farmer, and Econo Auto Painting of West Tennessee, Inc.

Judge(s): STAFFORD

Appellant brought this action after his car was painted the wrong color. During the course of the proceedings, the trial court ordered the parties to submit to mediation subject to certain guidelines requiring good faith participation, denied Appellant’s motion to recuse, granted Appellees’ motion for partial summary judgment as to Appellant’s claim for punitive damages, and ultimately granted Appellees’ motion to confess judgment as to Appellant’s claims for breach of contract and negligence. Appellant appeals each of these rulings. We reverse the trial court’s ruling as to Appellees’ motion to confess judgment, but affirm in all other respects.
