Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Kenneth Merritt, Memphis, Tennessee, Pro Se.

Attorneys 2: Julia Marie Hale, Memphis, Tennessee, for the appellee, Hon. Betty Thomas Moore.

Judge(s): FRIERSON

The plaintiff filed this action against a trial court judge who had presided over a prior lawsuit involving the plaintiff. The Shelby County Circuit Court (“trial court”) dismissed the plaintiff’s claims, determining that they were barred by judicial immunity. The plaintiff timely appealed. Because the plaintiff has failed to comply with Tennessee Rule of Appellate Procedure 27 and Tennessee Court of Appeals Rule 6, we dismiss this appeal.
