Docket entry
021606 Wilby v. Gostel 04/17/2003 The trial court correctly granted plaintiff a nonsuit of all claims against all defendants in a wrongful death case, without preserving in the nonsuit order a prior ruling granting partial summary judgment for the defense on the ground that the decedent was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. Thus the nonsuit order was not a final appealable order with respect to the issue of contributory negligence. The appeal is dismissed and the judgment is affirmed.
