IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TENNESSEE EASTERN SECTION AT KNOXVILLE FILED October 30, 1997 Cecil Crowson, Jr. Ap pellate Co urt C lerk RONALD STEPHEN COFER, ) BRADLEY CIRCUIT ) Plaintiff/Appellee ) NO. 03A01-9705-CV-00173 ) v. ) ) LYNDA SUSAN DAVIS COFER, ) HON. STEPHEN BEBB Defendant/Appellant ) JUDGE ) Defendant/Appellant ) AFFIRMED D. Mitchell Bryant, Cleveland, for Appellant. Ron D. Powers, Chattanooga, for Appellee. MEMORANDUM OPINION INMAN, Senior Judge The appellant argues that (1) the Court erred in awarding both parties a divorce, insisting that she should have been awarded a divorce; (2) the Court failed to award her sufficient alimony; (3) the Court should have awarded the entire interest in the marital residence to her, rather than a 50 percent interest; (4) the Court failed to award her a reasonable attorney fee. The record reveals that the marital estate was equitably and fairly divided and that the award of alimony was likewise equitable and in keeping with the circumstances of the parties. Since the allowance of attorney fees is ordinarily a matter of judicial discretion, the record reveals no abuse of this judicial prerogative. This case is peculiarly adaptive to the application of RULE 10, RULES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS,1 and the judgment is accordingly affirmed at the costs of the appellant. _________________________________ William H.
