Heading: The lower court erred in failing to grant Nicholls's 41(b) motion.

Text: ¶ 39. Nicholls's final assignment of error is that the lower court erred in failing to grant his 41(b) motion for dismissal. That rule states, in pertinent part: After the plaintiff, in an action tried by the court without a jury, has completed the presentation of his evidence, the defendant, without waiving his right to offer evidence in the event the motion is not granted, may move for a dismissal on the ground that upon the facts and the law the plaintiff has shown no right to relief. Miss.R.Civ.P. 41(b). This issue is moot in light of our reversal of the judgment against Nicholls.
