IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE
AT NASHVILLE
October 7, 2002 Session

CHARLES GARRISON, ET AL. v. JAMES C. STAMPS
Appeal from the Probate Court for Wilson County
No. None Robert P. Hamilton, Judge

No. M2001-02900-COA-R3-CV - Filed February 6, 2003
Charles Garrison and James C. Stamps were involved in an automobile accident on October 10, 1998 wherein Garrison was seriously injured.  Stamps was uninsured, and Garrison was beneficiary of uninsured motorists coverage under policies of insurance issued to his parents.  With no suit ever filed against Stamps, Garrison and his parents reached an agreement with the uninsured motorists carriers whereby the carriers paid the limits of their uninsured motorists coverage.  Charles Garrison being a minor, a Petition for court approval of the settlement was filed naming Stamps as the defendant, and an Order was entered approving the settlement.  Garrison then filed suit against Stamps, which suit was met with a Summary Judgment Motion by Stamps claiming that he was released from liability by the settlement Order.  Garrison filed a Tennessee Rule of Civil Procedure
60.02 Motion seeking to have the settlement Order revised to reflect the true facts of the settlement. This Motion was granted, and Stamps appeals.  We hold that Stamps is without standing to assert any rights under the settlement Order and, on this basis, affirm the judgment.
