MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rule 10 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals provides as follows:
This Court, with the concurrence of all judges participating in the case, may affirm, reverse or modify the actions of the trial court by memorandum opinion when a formal opinion would have no precedential value. When a case is decided by memorandum opinion it shall be designated "MEMORANDUM OPINION," shall not be published, and shall not be cited or relied on for any reason in any unrelated case.
The trial court dismissed the plaintiff's complaint — without hearing proof — on the defendants' respective motions to dismiss. The plaintiff appeals. We affirm.
We have reviewed the record pursuant to the provisions of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. We find no error in the trial court's judgment. The trial court's judgment is affirmed with costs on appeal being taxed to the appellant, Basil Marceaux. This case is remanded to the trial court for collection of costs assessed below.
