                            No. E2015-02189-COA-R3-PT
                                FILED-JULY 6, 2016
                        _________________________________

CHARLES D. SUSANO, JR., J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.

       I concur completely in the majority’s opinion terminating the parental rights of
Myron J. T. based upon the provisions of Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(1) and § 36-1-
102(1)(A)(i). I dissent from so much of the majority’s decision as holds that father does
not fall within the ambit of Tenn. Code Ann. § 36-1-113(g)(9)(A) and § 36-1-117(c). I
would hold that father is within the class of persons covered by these latter two statutes.
On this point, I adhere to the majority opinion authored by me in the case of In re
F.N.M., No. M2015-00519-COA-R3-PT, 2016 WL 3126077 (Tenn. Ct. App., filed Apr.
11, 2016).

                                                   _______________________________
                                                   CHARLES D. SUSANO, JR., JUDGE
