Supreme Court of Alabama

Harry Coughlin and Bettye Coughlin v. Mike Hale

December 16, 20112011 Ala. LEXIS 210

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court dismissed the Coughlins’ appeal as untimely because it was filed more than 42 days after the circuit court’s order dismissing Hale, which had been certified as a final judgment under Rule 54(b). The Court also held that the trial court did not exceed its discretion in certifying that order.
