Kimberly Johnson Dougherty v. M.E. Buck Dougherty
Syllabus
This is an interlocutory appeal as of right, pursuant to Rule 10B of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, filed by M.E. Buck Dougherty (\Father\), seeking to recuse the trial judge in this case involving modification of a parenting plan. Having reviewed the petition for recusal appeal filed by Father we find that the order of the Chancery Court for Fayette County (\Trial Court\) did not sufficiently comply with Rule 10B. We, therefore, vacate the Trial Court's January 30, 2020 order and remand this case to allow Father to amend his petition and for the Trial Court to either grant the motion or enter an order that states in writing all the grounds upon which the motion is denied.
Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
