Medeiros v. Anthem Casualty Insurance Group

OPINION

The failure to exercise due diligence in discovering the existence of certain newly discovered but previously available evidence doomed the plaintiffs motion to vacate the summary judgment that the Superior Court entered against her in this case. The plaintiff, Maria Medeiros, executrix of the estate of Edward Couto (Couto), appeals from the denial of her motion to vacate summary judgment in favor of the defendants, Anthem Casualty Insurance Group and Shelby Insurance Company. The plaintiff contends that the court should have granted the motion based on newly discovered evidence.
