Syllabus

The trial court abused its discretion by overruling appellants' motion for an extension of time to respond to appellees' motion for summary judgment and accordingly also erred by entering summary judgment for appellees. The time to respond to a motion for summary judgment imposed by the court was inexplicably only half the time established by local rule. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by overruling appellants' motion to amend their complaint. The amendments sought would likely have delayed the trial, and appellants failed to give a reason that would justify the delay. Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part remanded for further proceedings.
