Heston v. Lilly

Pope, Presiding Judge.

Tracey Heston sued Thomas Malcolm Lilly for injuries she allegedly sustained when Lilly’s car rear-ended her car. The matter proceeded to a jury trial, and the jury entered a verdict in Lilly’s favor. On April 27,1999, Heston filed a motion for new trial and on May 21, 1999, she filed a written request for oral argument. This request came three days after Lilly filed his response to Heston’s motion. The trial court, without hearing argument, issued an order on June 2, 1999, denying the motion for new trial.
