James Rhea v. Career General Agency, Inc., GuideOne America Insurance Company and Dennis Basden

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals’ judgment, holding that an untimely Rule 59 motion does not toll the thirty‑day appeal period and that Wilburn v. Wilburn does not apply when the motion is filed after the appeal window has expired, leaving the Court of Appeals’ lack of jurisdiction over the February 3, 2020 dismissal order correct.
