Stroud v. National General Insurance
Stroud v. National General Insurance
Opinion of the Court
MOTION TO DISMISS
The defendants-appellees, National General Insurance Company and Shirley B. Reams, move to dismiss the appeal of the appellant, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. The appellee bases its motion to dismiss on allegations that the appellant is not appealing the judgment rendered in appellees’ favor.
On 10 March 1982, the court ruled in favor of National General Insurance Company and Shirley Reams and their co-defendants, Betty Cabra and General Accident Fire and Life Assurance Corporation granting their motions for summary judgment against the appellant.
Two judgments were signed pursuant to this decision of the trial court. On 12 March, the trial judge signed the judgment as submitted by Betty Cabra and General Accident. The judgment as submitted by Shirley Reams and National General, appel-lee-movers, was signed on 15 March. This judgment incorrectly stated that it was rendered and signed on 15 March when in fact it was rendered on 10 March and signed 15 March.
The Motion and Order for Appeal stated that the court was granting an appeal from the judgments rendered on 10 March 1982 and signed on 12 March 1982. The appel-lees-movers argue that, since the motion was signed on 13 March the Motion and Order for Appeal does not apply to their judgment which was signed on 15 March. We disagree.
MOTION DENIED.
