No. 23125.

475 S.E.2d 122 (1996)

197 W.Va. 122

Larry E. ALKIRE, Appellant, v. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PARSONS, a National Banking Association, Appellee, v. MOSLER, INCORPORATED, a Delaware Corporation, Third-Party Defendant Below.

Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.

Decided July 15, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Paul Geary, Geary & Geary Petersburg, for Appellant.

David A. Sims, Debra Tedeschi Hall, Sims & Hall, Elkins, for Appellee.

RECHT, Justice.

The plaintiff, Larry E. Alkire, appeals an order of the Circuit Court of Tucker County, which vacated a jury verdict awarding him $1,050,000.00 in punitive damages. We find reversible error in the trial court's vacating that portion of the verdict that awarded punitive damages, and therefore, reverse that decision and remand this case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
