Heading: motion to strike amended order

Text: The appellees have filed a motion to strike the amended order of June 15, which disallowed funeral expenses that had been awarded to Ronald Keith Posey, in the amount of $3,602. The trial court had allowed these expenses in its order of February 14, 1992. The appellees contend, and I agree, that this amendment was untimely and that the trial court was without jurisdiction to amend its order more than 90 days after the post-judgment motion was filed. Mittie Marie filed a post-judgment motion on March 12, 1992; therefore, the motion was denied by operation of law on June 10, 1992. Rule 59.1, Ala.R.Civ.P. The trial court purported to amend its order on June 15, 1992. The record contains no written agreement to extend the 90-day period; see Rule 59.1; therefore, the trial court acted outside its jurisdiction in amending the order after June 10, 1992. [3] For the reasons stated above, I respectfully dissent from the majority's opinion overruling the motion to strike and dismissing this appeal as being from a nonfinal judgment. ALMON, J., concurs.
