Description
Respondents filed suit seeking a prescriptive easement for a road across land owned by Appellants. The issue of whether they were entitled to an easement was submitted to a jury. Following a verdict in their favor, the trial court first entered an interlocutory judgment and then a final judgment. Appellants appeal, claiming that the trial court erred (1) in overruling their motion for a directed verdict at the close of all the evidence and their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict because Respondents failed to make a submissible case; (2) in entering its judgment because it was not in accordance with the jury verdict in that it made findings of fact which were not submitted to or found by the jury; and (3) in overruling their motion for mistrial because of a witnesss reference to an attempt to settle the dispute. We affirm.
