The appellants, Justin Tyler Hobbs, Kasey Hobbs, Janice Toth, and Tony Toth (“Appellants”), filed a notice of appeal with this Court on June 4, 2025, which states that Appellants are appealing the May 5, 2025 order of the Hamilton County Circuit Court (“Trial Court”). Appellants subsequently filed in this Court a notice of premature appeal due to a pending issue regarding attorney’s fees and legal expenses after the dismissal of Appellants’ claims upon a directed verdict under Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure 50.01. According to the notice, the pending issue of attorney’s fees was scheduled to be resolved during a hearing on August 7, 2025. Therefore, this Court provided the parties with an extension of time to obtain a final judgment until August 21, 2025 or else this appeal would be subject to dismissal for lack of a final judgment.
