Judge: Cory Wilson

Plaintiff's Attorney:
Defendant's Attorney: TRACE D. McRANEY
Description:
Outcome: Rogers waived any challenge to the trial judge’s denial of his motion to amend his
complaint because he failed to mention that issue in his opening brief on appeal. And, in any
event, the trial judge did not abuse his discretion by denying Rogers’s belated motion to
amend. The exclusion of evidence regarding Thames’s brakes was logically and legally
harmless even if it was error because the excluded evidence would not have proved any
additional compensatory damages. Accordingly, even if the trial judge erred by granting
Thames’s motion in limine, the error was harmless. Finally, the trial judge did not abuse his
discretion by denying Rogers’s challenges for cause during jury selection or by denying
Rogers’s motion for a new trial.
AFFIRMED
