Rex Allen Moore v. Silvia Hill

Syllabus

This appeal concerns a dispute between a landlord and her former tenant. Rex Allen Moore (\Plaintiff\), the former tenant, filed suit against Sylvia Hill (\Defendant\) in the General Sessions Court for Knox County (\the General Sessions Court\) for violation of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (\the URLTA\). Plaintiff obtained a judgment in his favor, which Defendant appealed to the Circuit Court for Knox County (\the Circuit Court\). There, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant, and Defendant filed a counterclaim against Plaintiff. At trial, Plaintiff asked for a continuance, which was denied. The Circuit Court ruled against Plaintiff and in favor of Defendant on her counterclaim. Plaintiff appeals. Plaintiff's brief severely fails to comply with Tenn. R. App. P. 27. We find, therefore, that Plaintiff has waived whatever issues he has attempted to raise on appeal. We affirm the Circuit Court.
