Topic: Insurance - Interlocutory appeal - M.R.A.P. 5

Summary of the Facts: Bethany Wooten appeals from an order of the Marion County Chancery Court which denied her motion for summary judgment as a matter of law in Wooten's claim for damages under her insurance contract with Mississippi Farm Bureau Insurance Company.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: Because Wooten's claim for damages remained pending in the trial court, the order denying Wooten's motion for summary judgment is interlocutory and, therefore, not appealable. In addition, Wooten never petitioned the trial court or the appellate court for permission to bring a M.R.A.P. 5 interlocutory appeal.
