Posted by: Tanja Trezise on May 31, 2023

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: J. Alex Little, Zachary C. Lawson, and Ross M. Johnson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Kami Abbate, Wynn Hicks, and Anna Smith.

Attorneys 2: Hunter Fowler, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, for the appellant, Melanie Hicks.

Attorneys 3: Angelia Solomon, Franklin, Tennessee, pro se appellant.

Attorneys 4: Paige Waldrop Mills and Margaret V. Dodson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Aaron Solomon.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

Plaintiff sued several defendants over social media posts and the unauthorized use of his and his child’s name, image, and likeness. Plaintiff requested both damages and injunctive relief. In response, defendants petitioned to dismiss under the Tennessee Public Participation Act. Plaintiff then filed notice of a voluntary nonsuit, which defendants opposed. The trial court dismissed the case without prejudice. Because we conclude that nothing in Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 41 precludes the voluntary dismissal, we affirm.
