Appellant-Plaintiff, J. John Marshall ("Marshall") appeals the small claims court's denial of his motion to correct errors following a judgment that Appellee-Defendant, K and W Products ("K and W"), was liable for a refund of Marshall's purchase price of K and W's goods, but not for any consequential damages.
We conclude that the exception for personal service of the judge only applies where the judge has no actual knowledge of the motion to correct error, such as where the motion would be deemed denied after 45 days for failure to set the motion for hearing.
Marshall's motion was therefore deemed denied on January 16, 1996 and Marshall was required to file his praecipe by February 15, 1996.
