308 S.E.2d 418

Opinion

66352.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 19, 1983.

Action for damages. Cobb State Court. Before Judge Hines.

Dana A. Azar, Louis T. Isaf, for appellants.

Allie S. Edwards, Bruce H. Beerman, Harry A. Sneed, for appellees.

SOGNIER, Judge.

Appellants filed suit against appellee Saxe and others to recover medical expenses and the cost of automobile repairs allegedly resulting from the defendants' negligence. Appellants' motion for a default judgment against Saxe was granted due to his failure to appear for trial. A jury trial was then held to determine damages and the jury returned a verdict for Saxe. Appellants' motion for a new trial on the general grounds was denied, and they appeal.

No transcript of the trial has been filed in this court and the trial court's order denying appellants' motion for a new trial is not erroneous as a matter of law. Hence, we must affirm the trial court's judgment. McAllister v. City of Jonesboro, 242 Ga. 95 ( 249 S.E.2d 565) (1978). See also Fredd v. Randolph, 144 Ga. App. 756 ( 242 S.E.2d 301) (1978).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Pope, J., concur.
