612 So. 2d 453 (Ala. 1993)

Opinion

1911809.

January 15, 1993.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Jackson County, No. CV-92-167, Clark E. Johnson, Jr., J.

Gary W. Lackey, Scottsboro, for appellant Marvin Eugene Wells.

William W. Tally of Tally Tally, Scottsboro, for appellee Ralph Eustace.

Gerald R. Paulk of Livingston, Porter Paulk, P.C., Scottsboro, for appellee Jackson County Democratic Executive Committee.


This appeal involves an election contest. The circuit court correctly held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the contest and that any contest of a primary election must be pursued before the executive committee of the party holding the election. We affirm on the authority of Ex parte Graddick, 495 So.2d 1367 (Ala. 1986); Ex parte Baxley, 496 So.2d 688 (Ala. 1986); Ex parte Baxley, 494 So.2d 30 (Ala. 1986); and Ex parte Skidmore, 277 Ala. 221, 168 So.2d 483 (1964).

AFFIRMED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and MADDOX, ADAMS, HOUSTON, STEAGALL and INGRAM, JJ., concur.
