In Re Estate of Janice N. Smith

Syllabus

This appeal concerns a partial summary judgment order certified as final pursuant to Rule 54.02 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure. Upon our review of the record, we determine that the issue adjudicated in the partial summary judgment order did not dispose of an entire claim or party, as is required to certify an order as final pursuant to Rule 54.02. Because we conclude that the trial court improvidently certified the order as final, we dismiss the appeal and remand for further proceedings.
