    Martha THOMAS, Respondent, v. The STATE of Missouri, et al., Appellants.
    WD 80733
    Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.
    Order filed: February 27, 2018
    Mark A. Ludwig, Jefferson City, for Respondent.
    Emily A. Dodge, Jefferson City, for Appellants.
    Before Division One: Thomas H. Newton, Presiding Judge, Victor C. Howard, Judge and Karen King Mitchell, Judge
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM:

The State of Missouri appeals the judgment of the trial court granting Martha Thomas a new trial. It presents five points on appeal arguing that the trial court erred in denying its motion for directed verdict and in granting Thomas's motion for a new trial after jury verdict. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum has been provided to the parties. The judgment is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
