Syllabus

Where a trial court enters an order without jurisdiction, its order is void and a nullity, and puts the parties in the same position they would be in if it had not occurred. Following the trial court's void order, appellant's motion was pending before the trial court. However, when a trial court fails to rule on a pending motion, an appellate court considers the motion denied. Appellant's attempt to amend his motion to raise new claims fourteen years later was improper.
