Last week, a story was run in TBA Today about the TBA’s support of extending federal authorization to keep a U.S. bankruptcy judge in the Eastern District of Tennessee at Greeneville. The article stated that upon the retirement of Judge Marcia Parsons, who has held that post for 27 years, all bankruptcy cases in the easternmost counties of Tennessee will be shifted to the docket in Knoxville. It was brought to our attention that the cases in the Northeastern Division of the Eastern District will be heard by Judge Shelley D. Rucker of Chattanooga, and not shifted to Knoxville as previously stated.
