Debbie Worsham, Appellant v. Roy Day and Teresa Day, Appellees

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas dismissed Worsham’s appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. The jury verdicts were not entered as a judgment until May 25, 2016, and the earlier order granting a new trial was ineffective because no valid judgment existed when that order was entered. After the judgment was entered, the posttrial motion was treated as newly filed and deemed denied, but neither party filed a timely notice of appeal or amended notice of appeal. The jury’s verdict therefore stands.
