1 sentence

2013This Court cannot rule on the propriety of deposing Dr. Calundruccio regarding his affidavit or his reasons for not testifying when that issue was never ruled upon by the trial court. -32- On the issue of whether the Burchfields could further depose Dr. Calundruccio regarding his expert opinion, they attempt to rely on this Court’s opinion in White v. Vanderbilt Univ., 21 S.W.3d 215 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1999), but we find such authority unavailing on this issue.
