  5. Turner & Assocs. P. L.L.C. v. Watkins

    259 So. 3d 640 (Miss. Ct. App. 2018)   Cited 2 times

    Thus, the court's order did not adjudicate all the issues and requires further action by the trial court.SeeJackson v. Lowe , 65 So.3d 879, 882 (¶ 8) (Miss. Ct. App. 2011) (This Court could not assume a "final order's silence" on a party's claim for damages constituted a final adjudication; therefore, the court's "final judgment" was an interlocutory order.). Since the court's order was not a final judgment for purposes of appeal, we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Watkins's counsel suggested that if the order is interlocutory, he would consent to an interlocutory appeal.
