Supreme Court of Alabama

Ex Parte Troutman Sanders, LLP

February 21, 2003866 So. 2d 547

Summary

The court dismissed Troutman Sanders's mandamus petition as untimely because it was filed beyond the presumptively reasonable period and did not explain the delay. The court held that a motion to reconsider an interlocutory order does not operate as a Rule 59(e) motion and therefore does not toll the time for seeking mandamus review. The court denied the respondents' request for sanctions.
