Van Horn v. Morgan
Appellant Jennifer Morgan appeals from a portion of a protective order in favor of respondent Sara Van Horn in this elder abuse action. Morgan contends the portion of the order that restrains her from interfering with Van Horn's mail was an abuse of discretion because: 1) the trial court adjudicated the contractual rights of a third party; 2) there was no substantial evidence that Van Horn experienced mental suffering as a result of Morgan's interference with her mail; and 3) the trial court was not authorized to order Morgan to take affirmative action. We find that Morgan does not have standing to appeal the rights of a third party, there was substantial evidence of mental suffering to support the protective order, and the trial court acted within its discretion in ordering Morgan to stop interfering with the delivery of Van Horn's mail. Therefore, we affirm.
