                              Motion for New Trial

To the Honorable Judge:

Defendants file this motion for new trial and show as follows.

Attorney’s Fees

The trial court erred by awarding attorney’s fees for the following reasons.

      First, the Court erred by awarding attorney fees because no rule, statute,

or case permits the award of attorney fees in this type of case.

      Second, the Court erred by awarding attorney fees because plaintiﬀ has

no pleadings to support an award of attorney fees.

      Third, the Court erred by awarding attorney fees because there is no ev-

idence or, in the alternative, insuﬃcient evidence to support the Court’s

award of attorney fees.

      In sum, this court did not and does not have jurisdiction over this mat-

ter. Therefore, this court should grant this motion for new trial and dismiss

this action.
