Carley, Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur in the judgment affirming the trial court’s direction of a verdict in favor of appellee. I also fully agree with the discussion in Division 2 of the majority opinion with regard to the propriety of the *104directed verdict based on the evidence in this case. However, I cannot agree with Division 1 of the opinion because I do not believe that this issue should be addressed on this appeal. Regardless of the correctness of the trial judge’s action in denying appellant’s motion in limine with regard to evidence of the motives of appellant in bringing the action, no such evidence was actually introduced at trial. The case was resolved by the direction of a verdict in favor of the appellee at the conclusion of appellant’s evidence. We have held that the verdict was correctly directed. Accordingly, the issue relating to the denial of the motion in limine is moot.
