Attorneys 2:

Murray B. Wells, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Gary Morris, Jr.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

This appeal arises from Shelby County’s decision to terminate Appellee’s employment for non-compliance with the County’s residency requirement. The Civil Service Merit Board (“CSMB”) reversed the termination of Appellee’s employment and reinstated him with back pay. On appeal, the Shelby County Chancery Court affirmed the CSMB’s ruling. Finding no error, we affirm the decision of the Chancery Court.
