This is an appeal from a final order affirming the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s denial of a request for termination of registration on the Sex Offender Registry. Because the appellant did not file his notice of appeal with the clerk of the appellate court within thirty days after entry of the final judgment as required by Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 4(a), we dismiss the appeal.

Two neighboring property owners had the right to use the same easement for ingress and egress. For many years, the neighbors used and maintained a shared gravel road to access their properties. Then one property owner unilaterally removed gravel from part of the road and created an alternate route. The other property owner filed suit, seeking to protect his easement rights. The trial court held the owner who damaged the road liable for “acting beyond his legal rights” and “changing the nature and character of the easement.” Among other things, the court awarded the damaged party a judgment for the costs of the repairs plus pre-judgment interest and a permanent injunction. Because the evidence preponderates against the damages awarded, we modify the judgment by reducing the award. We also vacate the permanent injunction because the damaged property owner did not seek that relief. We affirm the trial court in all other respects.

In this interlocutory appeal, the employer contests an order awarding medical benefits. The employee reported an injury to her shoulder and arm while grooming a dog, and the employer initially provided benefits. Several months later, at her first visit with an authorized pain management physician, the employee described having hit her head during the incident, and the physician referred her to a neurosurgeon for evaluation of symptoms in her cervical spine. After the neurosurgeon recommended surgery, the employer denied the procedure based on defective notice. Following an expedited hearing, the trial court ordered the employer to provide surgery as recommended by the employee’s neurosurgeon. The employer has appealed. After careful consideration, we affirm the trial court’s award of medical benefits and remand the case.

A Shelby County jury convicted the defendant, Travis Haynes, of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and convicted felon in possession of a firearm, for which he received an effective sentence of life imprisonment plus twenty years. On appeal, the defendant contends the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support his convictions for first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. The defendant also argues the trial court erred in not allowing the introduction of autopsy photographs through Ms. Dinkins, in failing to include an instruction on voluntary manslaughter, and in denying the defendant’s motion to continue. After reviewing the record and considering the applicable law, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.

The defendant, Eric DeShawn Webb, appeals the Maury County Circuit Court’s partial denial of his motion to reduce his sentence filed pursuant to Tennessee Rule of Criminal Procedure 35, and imposition of an effective 10-year sentence for his guilty-pleaded convictions of aggravated rioting and aggravated assault. Discerning no error, we affirm.
