Supreme Court of Alabama

Philip F. Bowling and Jennie M. Bowling v. U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for C-Bass Mortgage Loan…

February 17, 2023

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal because the trial court improperly certified a partial judgment as final under Rule 54(b). The adjudicated claims and the claims remaining below arose from the same foreclosure-related facts and involved overlapping allegations and evidence, creating an unreasonable risk of inconsistent results. Because the certification was invalid, the court did not reach the merits of the summary judgment ruling.
