California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Fletcher v. San Jose Mercury News, 216 Cal.App.3d 172, 264 Cal.Rptr. 699 (Cal. App. 1989):
1 Because we affirm the trial court's order granting the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, we need not consider the appeal from the order granting a new trial since it is rendered moot. (Code Civ.Proc., 629; Conner v. Utah Const. & Min. Co. (1965) 231 Cal.App.2d 263, 41 Cal.Rptr. 728.)
