Heading: Whether the chancellor erred in limiting argument at the summary judgment hearing to fifteen minutes.

Text: ¶ 47. Foster also contends that at the hearing on summary judgment, the chancellor erred in limiting each side's argument to fifteen minutes. However, this issue was not properly preserved for appeal. It is well-established that a contemporaneous objection is required in order to preserve an issue for appeal. See Barnett v. State, 725 So.2d 797, 801 (Miss. 1998) (citing Crenshaw v. State, 520 So.2d 131, 134-5 (Miss.1988)). ¶ 48. Foster did not raise this issue until more than six months after the hearing on summary judgment. Foster stated to the chancellor many times at the hearing that she was worried about her time running out, but at no point during the proceedings did Foster object to the time limits set by the chancellor. Thus, Foster is barred from arguing this issue on appeal.
