Civil Procedure
Small claims; dismissal; motion to reopen
Sandra Murray, pro se, brought this small-claims action against Russ Darrow Mazda claiming in her small-claims complaint that Darrow improperly “topped off critical [brake] fluid [, which] caused contamination of rubber” in, apparently, the brake “master cylinder.” Her complaint indicates that she was told that by “Car-X # 4906.” Following a dismissal of her claim by the small-claims court commissioner, Murray had a trial de novo in the circuit court, which also dismissed her claim, and denied her motion to re-open. She appeals that dismissal and, we assume, the circuit court’s order denying her motion to re-open. This opinion will not be published.
