Directlink India P Limited “Directlink” sued US Professionals, LLC “US Professionals” for money owed on a commercial contract account. US Professionals filed a timely answer that raised the defense of improper venue and simultaneously moved to dismiss the complaint based upon improper venue. After these pleadings were filed, the trial court approved the withdrawal request of US Professionals’ counsel. Before withdrawing, US Professionals’ counsel provided the trial court with an address and telephone number for US Professionals in Memphis, Tennessee.

Subsequently, the trial court notified US Professionals by mail that the case was set for a non-jury trial on June 8, 2000. When US Professionals failed to appear for trial, the trial court entered a judgment against it in the amount of $66,579.31 and dismissed its counterclaim. The trial court’s written order and judgment makes no mention of any ruling on US Professionals’ motion to dismiss based upon improper venue.1 US Professionals appeals, asserting the trial court erred by entering a judgment against it without first ruling on the motion to dismiss and that it also erred in its calculation and award of damages to Directlink.
