Herrera v. Rivera

This is an appeal from an order of dismissal and order overruling a motion for reinstatement. Appellant, Rosa I. Herrera, raises five issues on appeal. In Issue One, Appellant alleges that the trial court abused its discretion by dismissing her case for want of prosecution. In Issue Two, Ms. Herrera alleges that the trial court abused its discretion by not granting her motion to reinstate. In Issue Three, Appellant argues that the trial court erred in refusing to allow Ms. Herreras trial counsel to be sworn in and testify at the motion to reinstate hearing. In Issue Four, Ms. Herrera challenges the trial courts Finding of Fact No. 8. In Issue Five, Ms. Herrera argues that the trial courts conclusions of law apply an incorrect standard to her motion to reinstate and cannot support the denial of her motion. Appellee Jose Angel Rivera filed a brief in this appeal, but Appellee Amalia Rivera did not file a brief or enter an appearance when the case was submitted to this Court. We reverse and remand.
