Heading: Because We Have Affirmed the Court of Appeals' Decision Regarding the Scotts' Appeal, Moore Pontiac's Appeal is Moot.

Text: Moore Pontiac filed a separate appeal, essentially arguing that the trial court committed reversible error by allowing the Scotts' counsel to make improper remarks about Moore Pontiac's financial condition during closing argument and that Moore Pontiac was entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. We have already affirmed the Court of Appeals' conclusion that Moore Pontiac should not have been held liable for the Scotts' damages. So Moore Pontiac's argument that it was entitled to judgment of a matter of law is moot. Likewise, although we shall address the propriety of the Scotts' counsel's closing argument during our discussion of Morgan's appeal, that issue is moot as to Moore Pontiac.
