Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Sep 13, 2021

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Fred Auston Wortman, III, Wartburg, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Herbert H. Slatery III, Attorney General and Reporter, and Pamela S. Lorch, Senior Assistant Attorney General for the appellees the State of Tennessee, Tennessee Board of Parole, Gary Faulcon, Gay Gregson, Roberta Kustoff, Richard Montgomery, Tim Gobble, Zane Duncan, Barrett Rich, Rob Clark, Jim Purviance, Richard O’Bryan, Mark Davidson, and Paul Hagerman.

Judge(s): DAVIS

After being denied parole, Fred Auston Wortman, III (“Plaintiff”) filed suit against the State of Tennessee (the “State”), the Tennessee Board of Parole (the “Board”), several board members and other state employees, and two assistant district attorneys in the Chancery Court for Davidson County (the “trial court”). Several defendants moved for dismissal for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss and Plaintiff appealed to this Court. Because the trial court’s order is not final, however, we lack subject matter jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
