In the Matter of the Estate of Charlotte Stinnett, Darrell Brown, Sr. v. Velma Ann Bell Wilson and Melvin Shane Bell

Summary

The court dismissed the appeal with prejudice because the appellant's sole challenge concerned an order striking his response, and he did not timely appeal that order. The court held that an order appealable at the interlocutory stage must be appealed within thirty days, even if a later order is also appealable. The court further concluded that the later distribution order was not shown to be a final order of distribution that could bring the earlier order before the court for review.
