The defendant, Tommy Lynn Hollingsworth, appeals the order of the trial court revoking his probation and ordering him to serve the remainder of his six-year sentence in confinement. Upon our review of the record, the parties’ briefs, and oral arguments, we affirm the judgment of the trial court as to the denial of the defendant’s motion to dismiss and the revocation of the defendant’s probation. As to the disposition of the defendant’s probation, while we affirm the judgment of the trial court to order confinement in case number 96-195, the trial court erred in imposing that disposition in case number 96-193, which had expired.

The Defendant, James Lee Dennis, pled guilty to vehicular homicide by intoxication. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court entered judgment ordering the Defendant to serve ten years’ incarceration at one hundred percent service. The trial court also ordered the Defendant to pay $113,700 in the form of child maintenance restitution pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-13-219. On appeal, the Defendant argues that the trial court erred by ordering excessive restitution and by imposing a sentence above the minimum required by law. Following our review, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.

Petitioner, Thor Lucas Coleman, appeals from the summary dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. He argues that the post-conviction court erred in dismissing his petition without a hearing or the appointment of counsel. Petitioner raises for the first time on appeal two claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.

The notice of appeal in this case was not timely filed. Therefore, this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider this appeal.

This appeal arises from a premises liability action commenced by Tammala Thompson (“Plaintiff”) for injuries she sustained while camping for the weekend at Cedars of Lebanon State Park (“the Park”). Plaintiff alleges that the State of Tennessee (“the State”), which owns and operates the Park, is liable for her injuries because the State negligently maintained an unsafe sidewalk. Relying upon the affirmative defense provided by the Tennessee Recreational Use Statute (“the TRUS”), the State filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Plaintiff opposed the motion arguing that she was not engaged in recreational activity when the injury occurred because she was walking on a sidewalk; thus, the TRUS is not applicable. She also asserted that sidewalks are “improvements” which are not expressly exempted from liability under the TRUS. Finding the TRUS applicable and that no exceptions applied, the Claims Commission granted the State’s motion to dismiss. We affirm.

A mother appeals the termination of her parental rights for abandonment by failure to visit, abandonment by failure to support, persistence of conditions, and failure to manifest an ability and willingness to assume custody of her children. Discerning no error, we affirm.

The homeowners and a general contractor commenced this action for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and breach of implied warranty against a brick manufacturer and its distributor. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants based on the plaintiffs’ failure to provide an opportunity to cure. We affirm in part and reverse in part. Having determined that Article 2 of Tennessee’s Uniform Commercial Code controls the sale of the bricks and that the bricks were accepted, it was unnecessary for the plaintiffs to provide an opportunity to cure before filing suit. Still, we conclude that the manufacturer was entitled to summary judgment on all claims because it had no privity of contract with the plaintiffs.

This is an appeal from a trial court’s decision to grant a motion to enforce a settlement agreement. The trial court conducted an evidentiary hearing and concluded that the parties had reached an enforceable agreement. We affirm.

The Tennessee Trial Court Vacancy Commission reports that it received two applications — from Aaron J. Chapman of Morristown and Mark S. Stapleton of Rogersville — to fill a vacancy in the 3rd Judicial District Circuit Court. Because it did not have three names to forward, under the law, Gov. Bill Lee may appoint any qualified individual to the position. The vacancy was created by the appointment of William E. Phillips II to the Tennessee Court of Appeals. The district covers Greene, Hamblen, Hancock and Hawkins counties. Read more from the commission.
