Applicant filed a petition for writ of certiorari against Decatur County challenging the denial of his beer permit application. The trial court reversed the decision of the local beer board on the basis that the sale of beer was allowed due to Decatur County’s status as a Tennessee River resort district. Because we conclude that Decatur County’s ordinance restricting the sale of beer within two thousand feet of a church remains in effect despite Decatur County’s status as a Tennessee River resort district, we reverse the decision of the trial court. Reversed and remanded.

Months after entry of the divorce decree, but prior to the entry of an order on the husband’s motion to alter or amend, the wife filed a motion to increase the alimony awarded in the divorce decree to account for the wife’s tax liability from the alimony. The trial court granted the wife’s motion and increased the alimony.

After considering the record and the applicable authorities, we affirm the judgment of the postconviction court.
