The Tennessee Supreme Court is refusing to hear an appeal from Washington County, Tennessee Clerk and Master Brenda Sneyd. She filed a lawsuit against the county because she did not receive the same 10 percent pay raise as Circuit Court Clerk Karen Guinn. Sneyd wanted back pay from 2006 and the pay increase. The Chancery Court denied her request, and her appeal was dismissed by the state court of appeals in August. (jb)
