Heading: Two Separate Appeals Were Brought From the August 14 Judgment

Text: ¶ 3 The Allens brought the first appeal from the August 14 judgment. They sought review of the adverse ruling on their negligent entrustment and agency theories [ Allen I ]. [4] One week later Lynn Hickey brought a separate appeal from the same judgment [ Allen II ]. [5] The latter targeted for review the nisi prius ownership ruling. Because all the tendered matters were initially determined by summary process the parties prosecuted their appeals by the accelerated track. [6] Though brought from the same judgment, these appeals were never consolidated in the appellate courts for disposition by a single opinion, either sua sponte or on the parties' motion. [7] COCA handed down on the same day two separate opinions, one in each appeal.
