Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: W. Davis Frye and Clay Gunn, Ridgeland, Mississippi, for the appellant, Quince Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC.

Attorneys 2: Cameron C. Jehl, Carey L. Acerra, Deena K. Arnold, April A. Huntoon, and Davis B. Howard, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Renee’ Niter-Martin.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

Appellee filed this action, as next of kin of Decedent, against Appellant nursing facility alleging that Appellant was negligent in its care of Decedent. Appellee also asserted a wrongful death claim. Appellant filed a motion to compel arbitration on its allegation that Decedent signed a binding arbitration agreement before being admitted into its facility. The trial court found that Appellant failed to authenticate the alleged arbitration agreement and concluded that there was no evidence of a binding arbitration agreement between Appellant and Decedent. As such, the trial court denied the motion to compel arbitration. Discerning no error, we affirm.
