The Eastern Section of the Tennessee Court of Appeals just held that the plaintiffs' appeal of a grant of summary judgment in the defendants' favor was frivolous. The case is Peters v. Lamb, E2008-00997-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. May 27, 2009).
The plaintiffs attempted to nonsuit the case without "filing" the notice of dismissal, which is required by Rule 41.01 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure.

Here's the link to the opinion:
