JOSEPH CANNISTRA v. WILLIAM CHARLES BROWN

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Aug 28, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Joseph Cannistra, Pulaski, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Robert D. Massey, Pulaski, Tennessee, for the appellee, William Charles (Billy) Brown.

Judge(s): MCGEE

This matter involves an ongoing dispute between a landlord and a tenant in Pulaski, Tennessee. Following a detainer action in General Sessions Court over unpaid rent, the tenant, representing himself, filed the present case against the landlord, alleging numerous causes of action. The trial court dismissed all the tenant’s claims against the landlord, finding that the tenant erred in failing to join his claims in the original detainer action. The tenant, still representing himself on appeal, challenged the trial court’s dismissal of his claims. Due to the deficiencies in his brief, we conclude that he has waived consideration of any issues on appeal and hereby dismiss the appeal.
