RIMON ABDOU v. MARCY MCCOOL ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Feb 26, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Shelley S. Breeding and Kassadi B. Lavrinovich, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Rimon Abdou.

Attorneys 2: Mark W. Honeycutt, II, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Marcy McCool, Kelly Anne Brown, Steven Paul Brown, James Leonard Wood III, and Laura Brooke Watts.

Judge(s): STAFFORD

The trial court entered an agreed order dismissing some of Appellant’s claims with prejudice, an order granting Appellant’s voluntary dismissal of all of his claims in two consolidated cases without prejudice, and an order awarding discretionary costs to Appellees. Appellant later sought relief from each of these orders pursuant to Rule 60 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. In litigating the Rule 60 motion, Appellant filed a motion to disqualify Appellees’ counsel and a motion to compel compliance with subpoenas he issued against his own prior counsel, and the parties filed cross-motions for sanctions. The trial court denied Appellant’s Rule 60 motion, motion to disqualify, and motion to compel. The trial court also denied both motions for sanctions; however, Appellant was awarded his attorney’s fees in opposing Appellees’ motion. Discerning no reversible error, we affirm the trial court’s ruling in all respects. Appellees are also awarded their attorney’s fees for defending this frivolous appeal.
