Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jonathan Skrmetti, Attorney General and Reporter; J. Matthew Rice, Solicitor General; Amber L. Barker, Senior Assistant Attorney General; and Mara L. Cunningham, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellant, Tennessee Department of Children’s Services.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

This appeal involves judicial review of an administrative agency decision. The trial court found that the agency’s decision lacked a foundation of substantial and material evidence and remanded the matter to the agency for further investigation or proceedings. Having determined that the trial court impermissibly re-weighed the evidence presented in this matter, we reverse the court’s judgment and affirm the agency’s decision.
