Ex Parte Blackmon

Supreme Court of Alabama
Dec 5, 1980
390 So. 2d 635 (Ala. 1980)

Opinion

79-908.

December 5, 1980.

Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Civil Appeals.

John W. Kelly, III, of Sikes, Kelly, Edwards Bryant, Selma, for petitioner.

J. Garrison Thompson of Pitts, Pitts Thompson, Selma, for respondent.


In denying the petition and refusing to issue the writ of certiorari in this case we are not to be understood as approving anything other than the result reached by the majority of the Court of Civil Appeals, 390 So.2d 628.

We do not view, as apparently does Judge Wright in dissent, the opinion as diminishing the precedential authority of those cases he cites as being affected thusly. It appears the decision stands on the particular facts of the case and was reviewed within the narrow scope of the rule applicable to review of workmen's compensation cases.

WRIT DENIED.

TORBERT, C.J., and FAULKNER, ALMON and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
