Rhoda v. Weathers
Annotate this Case
In 2004, Marvin Rhoda and Edith Weathers were involved in an automobile collision in Southaven. Rhoda sued Weathers alleging negligence, and the jury returned a verdict for Weathers. The Court of Appeals affirmed the jury's verdict, but reversed and remanded the trial court's refusal to assess sanctions against Weathers for failing to admit to certain requests made by Rhoda in discovery. The Supreme Court granted Weathers's petition for writ of certiorari to address only the issue of sanctions against Weathers. Upon review, the Court reversed the Court of Appeals on this issue and affirmed the circuit court's denial of Rhoda's request for sanctions.
