Fred Auston Wortman, III v. State of Tennessee Board Of Parole
Syllabus
After being denied parole, Fred Auston Wortman, III (\Plaintiff\) filed suit against the State of Tennessee (the \State\), the Tennessee Board of Parole (the \Board\), several board members and other state employees, and two assistant district attorneys in the Chancery Court for Davidson County (the \trial court\). Several defendants moved for dismissal for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss and Plaintiff appealed to this Court. Because the trial court's order is not final, however, we lack subject matter jurisdiction to hear this appeal. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
