Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel A. Katz, on brief, Silver Spring, for appellants.

Cynthia Bateson, Dean Bateson, on brief, Laurel, for appellees.

Panel EYLER, JAMES R., SHARER and WOODWARD, JJ.


WOODWARD, J.

We hold that the trial court cannot.

Appellants, Jose Alvarez, Ramon Jimenez, Augustin Lemus...
