Heading: whether the final judgment entered was vague, ambiguous, or uncertain.

Text: ¶ 21. The final assignment of error is that the Final Judgment was vague, ambiguous, and unclear because it did not set forth a procedure to validate the election. The Board of Deacons' entire argument consists solely of a block-quote from a non-binding treatise stating in effect that a decree should be reasonably certain and fairly precise. They provide no examples of vagueness, ambiguity, or lack of clarity in the Final Judgment. ¶ 22. With regard to the regulation of the election, the Final Judgment clearly stated: The Court orders Dr. Myles and Dr. Smith to regulate an election to be held January 19, 2002, from 2:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. at the Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, Terry, MS[,] for the purpose of determining what the members of the church want to do. The Court finds that a ballot should be prepared. It is Ordered that if Dr. Myles and Dr. Smith do not accept to conduct the stated election, there shall be someone independent of the church present at the date, time and place stated to set a procedure in place for conduct of this election. ¶ 23. Also, with regard to the eligible voting membership, the chancellor ordered that those eligible to vote would be those members over twelve years of age who live in the Terry area and regularly attend services, regardless of the amount or lack of tithing. Clearly, the chancellor was certain and quite clear in the regulation of the election. Accordingly, this assignment of error is without merit.
