Betty I. Hardy Hall, Cross-Appellee v. State Farm Fire & Casualty Company, Cross-Appellant

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided August 2, 1991No. 90-1336PublishedCited by 65 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

REYNALDO G. GARZA, Circuit Judge:

Hall appeals the lower court judgment against her contending the trial judge erred in interpreting the pretrial order, erred in interpreting the insurance policy and erred in instructing the jury. State Farm appeals because the lower court did not state reasons for denying costs to the prevailing party, State Farm. Finding no reversible error we overrule Hall’s points of error and AFFIRM the lower court on those points. Because reasons are required to be stated when costs are denied to the prevailing party, however, we REMAND the costs issue to the trial judge…
