Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert L. Huskey, Manchester, for plaintiff/appellant.

Donald J. Ray, Ray & Van Cleave, Tullahoma, for defendants/appellees.

Permission to Appeal Denied by Supreme Court October 21, 1985.

OPINION

KOCH, Judge.

We are called upon by this appeal to determine whether Tenn.R.Civ.P. 60 can be used to provide relief to a party whose lawyer failed to file a timely notice of appeal because he was busy with other clients' work. We conclude that the normal press of an attorney's workload alone does not provide a basis for Tenn.R.Civ.P. 60 relief.
