Tray Simmons v. Dr. Shahidul Islam

Syllabus

The Appellant brought suit against his psychiatrist and the psychiatrist's clinic, but the trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants. After appellate briefing and oral argument but prior to the filing of the opinion of the Court of Appeals affirming the trialcourt, the psychiatrist died. The Appellant became aware of the death after the Tennessee Supreme Court denied his application for permission to appeal. He, subsequently, filed numerous motions for relief in the trial court. The trial court denied relief under Rule 60and denied the other motions. We affirm.
