Evidence – hearsay — self-authentication

Lyon Financial Services, Inc., appeals the circuit court order dismissing its action to collect payments under an equipment lease between another entity and the lessee. The circuit court dismissed the action at the close of Lyon’s case because it concluded that the document Lyon relied upon to prove it was the assignee of the lease was inadmissible. For the reasons we explain below, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
