GLENYA COLE-JACKSON v. COSTCO WHOLESALE CORPORATION D/B/A COSTCO

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 3, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Glenya Cole-Jackson, Memphis, Tennessee, pro se appellant.

Attorneys 2: Karen S. Koplon and Taylor B. Davidson, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Costco Wholesale Corporation d/b/a Costco.

Judge(s): SWINEY

This is an appeal from a directed verdict in a personal injury lawsuit. Glenya Cole-Jackson (“Plaintiff”) sued Costco Wholesale Corporation d/b/a Costco (“Defendant”) in the Circuit Court for Shelby County (“the Trial Court”) over an incident in which she was hit by a shopping cart pulled by one of Defendant’s employees. The case went before a jury. At the close of Plaintiff’s proof, Defendant moved for a directed verdict. The Trial Court granted the motion, finding that Plaintiff failed to submit evidence that the shopping cart incident caused her injuries. Plaintiff appeals. Contrary to Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 27 and Rule 6 of the Tennessee Court of Appeals, Plaintiff’s brief fails to cite the record. In addition, the record contains no transcript or statement of evidence of the trial, hence we have no basis for determining that the Trial Court erred. We find that Plaintiff has waived her issues. We affirm.
