Rivers v. Owen

Court of Appeals of Georgia
Mar 7, 1984
316 S.E.2d 579 (Ga. Ct. App. 1984)

Opinion

67866.

DECIDED MARCH 7, 1984.

Action for damages. Fulton State Court. Before Judge Alexander.

Fred W. Minter, for appellant. Michael Welch, for appellee.


Otis William Owen sued Cedrick Rivers, d/b/a Ace Automobile Repair Services, to recover the cost of repairs to his automobile. The jury found for Owen and the trial court denied Rivers' motion for a new trial. Rivers appeals.

Appellant's argument involves the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. The record contains no transcript or brief of the evidence adduced at trial. In the absence of a transcript we must presume as a matter of law that the evidence at trial was sufficient to support the judgment below. Stefan Jewelers v. Berry, 163 Ga. App. 626 (2) ( 295 S.E.2d 373) (1982).

Judgment affirmed. McMurray, C. J., and Deen, P. J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 7, 1984.
