DORIAN JONES v. AUTOMATED BUILDING SYSTEMS INC.

Syllabus

Appellant sued appellees alleging breach of contract, fraud, and property damage. The trial court granted separate default judgments against the two appellees. Appellees moved the trial court to set aside the default judgments due to a lack of personal jurisdiction and due to mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. The trial court set aside the default judgments over the objections of appellant, and the case proceeded to a bench trial. The trial court involuntarily dismissed appellant's complaint at the conclusion of his case-in-chief. Finding no reversible error, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Judges: Judge Kristi M. Davis
