Court reviews whether a neighborhood association president's suit against the board that voted to oust him failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted

BOBBY MacBRYAN GREEN v. JODI JONES, ET. AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. July 10, 2012)

A neighborhood association president, fearing that members conspired to improperly oust him at an upcoming meeting, filed suit, requesting declaratory relief regarding the proper procedure for removal of a president. Prior to a hearing, the members voted to remove him from office and filed a motion to dismiss, alleging that the complaint failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The court dismissed the complaint and denied a subsequent motion to alter or amend its judgment. The president appeals. We affirm.
