St. John v. Michaels

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Nov 13, 1964
168 So. 2d 697 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1964)

Opinion

No. 4796.

November 13, 1964.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, James S. Moody, J.

George W. Phillips, of McDonald Phillips, Yado, Keel Nelson, Tampa, for appellant.

John W. Boult, of Shackleford, Farrior, Stallings, Glos Evans, Tampa, for appellee.


This matter is before the court on appeal from a summary judgment in favor of the defendant in a personal injury action.

The principal question before the court was the ownership of the defendant's vehicle. The burden was on the defendant-movant and, although the testimony of the defendant was not corroborated, there was nothing before the court that would present a genuine issue of material fact. Accordingly, the court properly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment.

Affirmed.

SHANNON, Acting C.J., and WHITE and ANDREWS, JJ., concur.
