Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Clinton Shawn Baxley, Mayo, Florida, pro se.

Attorneys 2:

Deborah Annette Yeomans-Barton, Johnson City, Tennessee, for the appellee, Deanna Mae Baxley.

Judge(s): MCCLARTY

This is an appeal of the general sessions court’s grant of a one-year extension of an order of protection. The respondent, a pro se litigant, appealed the extension to the circuit court. The circuit court initially dismissed the appeal as untimely. Upon further review, the circuit court transferred the appeal to this court for lack of jurisdiction. We hold that the circuit court had jurisdiction to hear the appeal. However, a final order for purposes of appeal was never entered. We remand this case for entry of a final order.
