CHARLOTTE R. SAPPO v. 4404 HOLDINGS, LLC

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Jun 11, 2026

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Charlotte R. Sappo, Nashville, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2: Gibeault Cooper Creson, Evan Stephen Rothey, and W. Scott Sims, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, 4404 Holdings, LLC.

Judge(s): BENNETT

A homeowner brought suit against the owner of the house next door, asserting a claim for breach of a joint driveway agreement and an alternative action for a declaratory judgment that the neighbor had abandoned the easement created by the driveway agreement. The neighbor filed counterclaims for a declaratory judgment, trespass, and an alternative claim for rescission for failure of consideration. After a trial, the trial court entered a final order determining the boundaries of the easement established by the driveway agreement; the court rejected the plaintiff’s claims for breach of the easement and abandonment as well as the defendant’s claim for trespass. On appeal, the plaintiff argues that the trial court erred in its rulings regarding the boundaries of the easement, its denial of her claims for breach of the easement and abandonment, and in its award of discretionary costs to the defendant. We find no error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
