1. ““On February 2, 2005, [Larry G.] Browning filed a complaint in the Cov-ington Circuit Court seeking to set aside the December 1, 2003, sheriffs sale of his house and approximately 12.5 acres of real property (‘the property5) to [Steve] Palmer. Browning also sought to quiet title to the property. Palmer answered the complaint, and in August 2005 he added a counterclaim for ejectment. In lieu of a trial, the parties stipulated to the authenticity of numerous documents and submitted stipulated facts to the circuit court. “On December 20, 2006, the circuit court entered a judgment for Palmer on Browning’s claims. The circuit court also entered a judgment for Palmer on his counterclaim for ejectment, ordered that Browning be ejected from the property, and ordered Browning to pay Palmer ‘the reasonable rental value of the property from December 1, 2003, in the amount of $14,400.’ Browning filed a postjudgment motion under Rule 59, Ala. R. Civ. P. The circuit court denied that motion on April 6, 2007. Browning filed a timely notice of appeal to this court on May 14, 2007. This court transferred the case to our supreme court due to lack of subject-matter jurisdiction; the case was then transferred to this court by the supreme court, pursuant to § 12-2-7(6), Ala.Code 1975.””
