Supreme Court of Alabama

Lamar Ragland v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company

May 19, 2017238 So. 3d 641

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama dismissed Ragland’s appeal, holding that the circuit court’s order dismissing his bad‑faith claim without prejudice was not a final judgment and that the Rule 54(b) certification was improper because the claim depended on a pending UIM claim. Because the order was not final, the appeal was taken from a non‑final judgment and was dismissed.
