Carbon Processing & Reclamation, LLC v. Valero Marketing & Supply Co.
District Court, W.D. Tennessee · 2011-10-17 · cited 20×
This case concerns a commercial dispute between Carbon Processing and Reclamation (CPR) and Valero Marketing & Supply Co. over alleged agreements for the purchase of petroleum slurry byproduct from Valero's Memphis refinery, including negotiations for a one-year evergreen contract and related three-year barge leases. CPR asserted claims for breach of contract, promissory estoppel, and violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act based on meetings, writings, and representations about slurry volume and contract duration. The district court addressed cross-motions for summary judgment and granted them in part and denied them in part, holding that some contract-formation and estoppel issues presented triable questions of fact while dismissing other claims due to insufficient evidence of reliance, causation, or statutory applicability.

United States v. Caraway
District Court, W.D. Tennessee · 2011-09-30
The case involved the conviction of defendant Romilus Caraway for one count of being a felon in possession of a handgun under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), based in part on testimony from government witness Ms. Latasha Johnson. After trial, the government discovered and disclosed an undisclosed grand jury transcript of Johnson's testimony, which defense counsel had requested under the Jencks Act but was not provided during trial. Defendant moved for a new trial on the basis of this newly discovered evidence, arguing it contained inconsistent statements that could have been used for impeachment. The court granted the motion, ruling that the nondisclosure, though inadvertent, was prejudicial error under the Jencks Act because the transcript's inconsistencies deprived the defendant of a fair opportunity to cross-examine the witness.

ELECTRIC ENERGY, INC. v. Lambert
District Court, W.D. Tennessee · 2010-12-02
This ERISA case involved a dispute between Electric Energy, Inc. (EEI), the fiduciary of a self-funded employee health plan, and covered person Jack Lambert over reimbursement of medical benefits. Lambert was injured in a 2005 car accident; the Plan paid over $124,000 in benefits, and Lambert later received a $650,000 settlement from third parties. EEI sought to recover the full amount paid under the Plan’s explicit reimbursement and subrogation clause, which applied regardless of whether the settlement made Lambert whole and without deducting attorney fees. The court granted EEI’s motion for summary judgment, holding that the unambiguous Plan terms required full reimbursement from the settlement proceeds and that ERISA authorized enforcement of those terms.
