Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Jun 2, 2020

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: David E. Fowler, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellants, George Grant, Lyndon Allen, Tim McCorkle, Larry Tomczak, and Deborah Deaver.

Attorneys 2: Lisa M. Carson and Lee Ann Thompson, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellee, Elaine Anderson, County Court Clerk of Williamson County, Tennessee.

Attorneys 3: Matthew Sexton, Morristown, Tennessee, for the Amicus Curiae, Tennessee Independent Baptist for Religious Liberty.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

This case is before us for the second time. In the first appeal, we affirmed the dismissal of the case after determining that the plaintiffs lacked standing. After the mandate issued, the plaintiffs moved for relief from the judgment under Rule 60.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. The trial court denied the motion. In this second appeal, the plaintiffs claim the trial court abused its discretion in denying their requested relief. We affirm. We also conclude the appeal is frivolous and remand for an assessment of damages.
