Jon Roozbeh Vazeen, AKA Hassan Vazin v. Michelle Smith Vazin - Concurring In Part and Dissenting In Part (Concurring/Dissenting)

Annotate this Case

Court Description:

Authoring Judge: Judge Charles D. Susano, Jr.

Trial Court Judge: Judge Phillip R. Robinson

I concur with the majority s observation that [g]iven the deficiencies in Husband[ s] brief, we do not have the []ability to reach the substantive issues. If we cannot reach the substantive issues and I agree we cannot I can only conclude that Husband s appeal is devoid of merit or . . . has no reasonable chance of success. Am. Gen. Fin. Servs., Inc. v. Goss et al., No E2010-01710-COA-R3-CV, 2011 WL 1326234 (Tenn. Ct. App., filed Apr. 7, 2011) (Susano, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part). Hence, by definition, this is a frivolous appeal. I would remand this case to the trial court for the purpose of holding a hearing to determine just damages pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. 27-1-122 (2000).
