(Senior Judge, Specially Assigned), JJ. ______________________________________ Opinion by Salmon, J. ______________________________________ Filed: May 3, 2019 * This is an unreported opinion, and it may not be cited in any paper, brief, motion, or other document filed in this Court or any other Maryland Court as either precedent within the rule of stare decisis or as persuasive authority. Md. Rule 1-104. —Unreported Opinion— On Memorial Day in 2015, Margaret Fleishell, the appellant, and Mark Howard, the appellee, were involved in a T-bone collision in an intersection near Denton, Maryland. Fleishell brought a negligence action against Howard in the Circuit Court for Dorchester County alleging that, under the Boulevard Rule, she was the favored driver and he had failed to yield the right of way to her. She further alleged that Howard’s failure to yield caused the collision. Mr. Howard, in turn, contended that Fleishell’s contributory negligence was a cause of the accident. At the close of discovery, Fleishell moved for partial summary judgment on the issues of negligence and contributory negligence. Following a hearing, the circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of Fleishell on the issue of Howard’s primary negligence, but denied the motion on the issue of Fleishell’s contributory negligence. The issues of Fleishell’s negligence and her damages were tried by a jury. Fleishell’s motions for judgment on the issue of contributory negligence were denied at the close of her case and at the close of all the evidence.

    John Grady, et al. v. Darin Donell Brown No. 85, September Term, 2008. NEGLIGENCE AS A MATTER OF LAW - BOULEVARD RULE Respondent was not negligent as a matter of law in the motor tort suit brought by petitioners, despite entering on the roadway upon which petitioner Grady, the favored driver, traveled, because he stopped and yielded the right-of-way to petitioner. The Circuit Court properly applied the Boulevard Rule and did not err in denying petitioners’ Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict.

Harrell Battaglia Greene Murphy Raker, Irma S. (Retired, specially assigned) Wilner, Alan M. (Retired, specially assigned) JJ. Opinion by Raker, J. Bell, C.J., and Harrrell and Wilner, JJ. Dissent. Filed: April 7, 2009 This motor tort case involves the Boulevard Rule. We must decide whether the Circuit Court for Baltimore City erred in denying petitioners’ Motion for Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict on the grounds that, based on the Boulevard Rule, respondent’s operation of his vehicle was negligent as a matter of law. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed, as shall we. I. This case arises from a motor vehicle accident which occurred on the morning of March 16, 2005, on Falkirk Road near the intersection of Gittings Avenue in Baltimore City. Petitioner Grady and his wife, Jacqueline Grady, filed an action sounding in negligence against respondent Brown and his father, Vern Milton Brown.1 Grady was operating his motorcycle on the favored highway, Falkirk Road, and Brown was operating a motor vehicle on the unfavored highway, an alley leading into Falkirk.

NOTES AND COMMENTS THE MARYLAND BOULEVARD RULE: A TIME FOR CHANGE Maryland's boulevard rule has survived frequent challenge and the apparent harshness of its results in recent cases. The author examines the development and application of the rule and questions both the historical bases and judicial justifications for the rule's modern viability. I. INTRODUCTION Several Maryland decisions in the past few years point once again to the need for a critical re-evaluation of the Maryland boulevard rule. 1 The stream of cases trying unsuccessfully to carve exceptions into the rule continues, and while inequity is no stranger to the application of this curious rule, the recent trend toward absoluteness in its interpretation by the courts is disturbing.

  • 1 the Court Notes That Defendant Evans Has Filed an Amended Motion for Summary Judgment
    Case 8:04-cv-01005-AW Document 41 Filed 08/03/05 Page 1 of 11 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND SOUTHERN DIVISION DAVID B. MARCHISILLO, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. AW-04-1005 v. KENNETH LOUIS DAVIS, and CORY DWIGHT EVANS, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff David B. Marchisillo (“Plaintiff” or “Marchisillo”) bring this diversity action against Defendants Kenneth Louis Davis (“Davis”) and Cory Dwight Evans (“Evans”) (collectively, “Defendants”), alleging a sole claim of negligence stemming from personal injuries sustained by Plaintiff in an automobile accident. Currently before the Court are the following motions: Davis’s Motion for Summary Judgment [29], Evans’s Motion for Summary Judgment [33], and Davis’s Motion to Strike Affidavit [39]. The Court has reviewed the pleadings and applicable law and has determined that a hearing is unnecessary. See Local Rule 105(6) (D. Md. 2004). For the following reasons, both Defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment and Defendant Davis’s Motion to Strike are denied.1 FACTUAL & PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND The following facts are taken in the light most favorable to the non-movant. On April 3, 2001, at approximately 11:30 a.m., Marchisillo and his son were traveling in Marchisillo’s van, driving his son home 1 The Court notes that Defendant Evans has filed an Amended Motion for Summary Judgment. Because the substance of that motion appears to be duplicative of Evans’s prior Motion for Summary Judgment, the Amended Motion is similarly denied.
