EDE GOZA, ET AL. v. SUNTRUST BANK

Posted by: Chandra Williams on Jul 23, 2015

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Larry E. Parrish, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellants, Ede Goza and Shirley Sue Noble Shaw.

Attorneys 2:

Kenneth P. Jones and M. Matthew Thornton, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Suntrust Bank, N.A. Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General & Reporter; Joseph F. Whalen, Acting Solicitor General; and Janet M. Kleinfelter, Deputy Attorney General; Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Tennessee Attorney General.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

This appeal arises from the dismissal of an action challenging the validity of and distribution of assets from a trust. The trial court held the suit was barred by the doctrine of res judicata. Because the plaintiffs in this action are in privity with previous challengers of the trust for purposes of res judicata, we affirm the dismissal.
