In this interlocutory appeal, the employer questions the trial court’s decision to partially deny the employer’s motion to compel discovery. The employer sought discovery related to the employee’s children, employment, and income, as well as various financial documents, and the employee objected on multiple bases. In a decision on the record, the trial court granted the employer’s motion as it pertained to production of the employee’s W-2 and tax information, but it denied the motion in all other respects. The employer has appealed. Having carefully reviewed the record, we affirm the trial court’s decision and remand the case.

JANE B. STRANCH, Circuit Judge. Plaintiffs Thomas Michael Smith and Monaleto Sneed bring this action against their former employer, P.A.M. Transport, Inc. (“P.A.M. Transport”), under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.; 42 U.S.C. § 1981; and the Tennessee Human Rights Act (THRA). Plaintiffs assert that their supervisors at P.A.M. Transport created a racially hostile work environment. The district court granted summary judgment to P.A.M. Transport on the ground that Plaintiffs failed to adduce evidence of racial harassment sufficient to sustain a viable hostile work environment claim. For the reasons set forth below, we REVERSE the judgment of the district court.

JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge. This appeal concerns the allocation among different parties of an insurance payout resulting from a 2018 trial in the Western District of Tennessee. In that first case, the jury verdict included a $2.5 million award to John Falls, a Memphis musician and music businessman, under an insurance policy issued by Hanover American Insurance Company. Hanover moved under Rule 50(b) to set aside the verdict, and the district court granted its motion. On appeal, this court reversed and ordered the district court to reinstate the jury verdict. We held in that case that because Hanover had failed to make an initial 50(a) motion, it was therefore barred from making its Rule 50(b) motion. The $2.5 million payout then became the subject of an interpleader action (and a parallel state action between two of the three parties in this appeal). The district court initially enjoined the state action, but this court reversed. Then, the district court, on summary judgment, held that, applying principles of res judicata, the first trial and decision by this court precluded Hanover from making certain arguments against Falls as to the distribution of funds. After a bench trial, the district court found facts as to the value of the interests at stake and divided the funds, with the majority going to John Falls and the remainder to Christopher C. Brown, who owned the equipment insured by the policy. Hanover and Tattooed Millionaire Entertainment appeal. We affirm the district court’s decision. First, Hanover may not challenge Falls’s recovery, directly or indirectly, based on grounds and arguments it could have brought in the first case. Although the district court erred by interpreting the wrong lease for the purposes of its later analysis, we find this error harmless, because in the circumstances of this case it was correct to allocate the funds based on the value of the leasehold. Finally, the district court’s determination of the value of the leasehold and its resulting allocation was not clearly erroneous. We affirm the district court’s judgment.

BUSH, Circuit Judge. Defendant-Appellant Cody Ballinger pleaded guilty to a single count of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The district court sentenced Ballinger to 180 months’ imprisonment based on an enhancement under the mandatory minimum of the Armed Career Criminal Act (ACCA). Ballinger now appeals his sentence. We AFFIRM.

Defendant, Brian Lee Fisk, appeals his Dyer County Circuit Court jury conviction of the sale of .5 grams or more of cocaine within a Drug-Free Zone, see Tenn. Code Ann. § 39- 17-432 (2014), challenging the sufficiency of the convicting evidence and the sentencing decision of the trial court. Because the evidence was sufficient to support his conviction and because the trial court did not commit plain error by sentencing Defendant under the terms of the Drug-Free Zone Act in effect at the time of the offense, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order today that approves a deal to keep TikTok available in the United States after months of uncertainty about the future of the social media platform. Under the deal, TikTok will be spun off into a separate U.S. entity to comply with a 2024 law requiring the app’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest or face a U.S. ban. The deal comes nine months after the law was originally set to go into effect and after several delays of the ban by the president. Administration officials revealed last week that the U.S. had a framework for a deal following trade talks with China. The Hill has more on the latest development.

The Tennessee Supreme Court announced that it would hear appeals in two cases affecting Nashville government. First, the court will consider the size of the Metro Nashville Council. The Tennessee Court of Appeals in June reversed a lower court ruling that a law cutting the size of the council in half was unconstitutional. Second, the court will consider who controls the Nashville airport. In April, the Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the legislature’s attempt to take over the airport authority was unconstitutional. The Nashville Business Journal has more on both the council size and airport board stories.

Phishing scams are a common challenge faced by many organizations, and the Tennessee Bar Association (TBA) is providing members with resources to stay aware and protected. The TBA is continuously monitoring for fraudulent emails, also known as phishing attempts, in which malefactors have impersonated TBA officers and staff members through deceptive messages designed to steal personal information and financial data or to gain unauthorized access to professional accounts. We recently have added a “phishing scams” webpage to the TBA website to provide helpful tips on how to identify and address suspicious emails.
