JESSICA GARVIN v. MARIAH SHELTON

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jul 9, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Evan M. Wright, Livingston, Tennessee, for the appellant, Mariah Shelton.

Attorneys 2: Larry C. Vaughan, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Jessica Garvin.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

On remand from this Court, Appellant filed a motion for attorney’s fees and costs in the trial court. As the basis for her motion, Appellant relied on Tennessee Code Annotated section 20-12-119 (contemplating an award of attorney’s fees to a party on grant of his or her Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 12 motion to dismiss), and on this Court’s mandate from the first appeal, wherein we remanded the case to the trial court for, inter alia, “collection of costs.” The trial court denied the motion, and Appellant appeals. Discerning no error, we affirm.
