MacKe v. Pierce

NATURE OF CASE

Kelly Macke sued Dr. Eddie Pierce, alleging that Pierce tortiously interfered with a business expectancy when Pierce informed Macke’s prospective employer, Burlington Northern Railroad Company, of findings Pierce made during a physical examination of Macke.

Because Macke’s motion for new trial was premature, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
