1. “... In Brown v. State, 252 So.2d 885, 887 (Miss. 1971) it was held: It is a well-settled rule in this state that a motion is at issue without further pleading and that the allegations thereof do not amount to any proof of the facts stated therein. It is the duty of the movant to support his motion by proof and in the absence of proof in support of the motion, the presumption in favor of the correctness of the action of the trial court will prevail. Harvey v. State, 218 So.2d 9 (Miss. 1969). This Court said in McMillan v. Tate, 260 So.2d 832, 833 (Miss. 1972): In the absence of any proof in support of the motion we cannot put the trial court in error for overruling the same. See also Loden v. Joslin, 229 So.2d 825 (Miss. 1969); citing Harvey v. State, 218 So.2d 9 (Miss. 1969). ( 297 So.2d at 159 ).”
