Robert Sawyers, Sr. v. E & R Auto Sales, Inc.

Syllabus

This appeal arises from a dispute over an automobile purchase. Robert Sawyers, Sr. (\Plaintiff\) filed a claim against E & R Auto Sales, Inc. (\Defendant\) in the General Sessions Court for Davidson County (\the General Sessions Court\) alleging that Defendant sold him a problem-riddled vehicle and seeking $13,000 in damages. The General Sessions Court dismissed Plaintiff's action. Plaintiff appealed to the Circuit Court for Davidson County (\the Trial Court\). The Trial Court dismissed a counter-claim filed by Defendant and awarded Plaintiff $350.00. Plaintiff appeals pro se, arguing he should have been awarded more money. Plaintiff's brief fails to comply with Tenn. R. App. P. 27. We, therefore, find that Plaintiff has waived his issue on appeal. Furthermore, the record contains no transcript or statement of the evidence. As such, the record presented to this Court precludes meaningful review of the issue on appeal. Given all this, we affirm the judgment of the Trial Court.

Judges: Chief Judge D. Michael Swiney
