IN RE: DOROTHY ELIZABETH SPRINKLE MCSPADDEN

Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Feb 12, 2015

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Donald K. Vowell, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Lloyde Susanne McSpadden Marcum.

Attorneys 2:

Robin M. McNabb, William A. Reeves, and Robert W. Weismueller, Jr., Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Katie Loftin and Emily McSpadden, Co-conservators of Dorothy Elizabeth Sprinkle McSpadden, Deceased.

Judge(s): SWINEY

Lloyde Susanne McSpadden Marcum (“Daughter”) appealed the judgment of the Chancery Court for Knox County (“the Trial Court”) appointing Katie Loftin and Emily McSpadden (“Granddaughters”) as co-conservators of Dorothy Elizabeth Sprinkle McSpadden (“Mother”). Mother died during the pendency of this appeal. We find and hold that Mother’s death rendered this appeal moot. We, therefore, dismiss the appeal, decline to address whether the appeal is frivolous, and decline to award either party attorney’s fees on appeal.
