Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. Tyler Chastain, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Cole Bryan Howell, III.

Attorneys 2: Matthew Robert Zenner, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the appellees, United Rentals (North America), Inc. and John A. Miller.

Judge(s): MCCLARTY

The plaintiff appeals from the grant of summary judgment to the defendants in this action. The trial court dismissed the plaintiff’s claims for false arrest, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence as barred by the statute of limitations. The trial court also dismissed the plaintiff’s claim for malicious prosecution after finding the plaintiff could not establish that the defendants had initiated the issuance of a criminal warrant without probable cause and with malice. Discerning no error, we affirm the trial court.
