Court of Appeals of Georgia

148 Ga. App. 27 (Ga. Ct. App. 1978)

Opinion

56493.

ARGUED SEPTEMBER 12, 1978.

DECIDED OCTOBER 23, 1978. REHEARING DENIED NOVEMBER 7, 1978.

Action for damages. Jackson Superior Court. Before Judge Brooks.

Lavender, Lavender Phelps, Robert W. Lavender, Woodrow W. Lavender, R. Chris Phelps, for appellant.

Davis, Davidson Hopkins, Jack S. Davidson, Walter James Gordon, Kenyon, Hulsey Oliver, Julius M. Hulsey, Erwin, Epting, Gibson McLeod, Eugene A. Epting, Richard W. Story, for appellees.


This court granted the City of Bowman's interlocutory appeal from the trial court's denial of its motion for summary judgment. After examination of the record, it appears that the appeal was improvidently granted because there is an issue of fact as to whether the city created a nuisance when it failed to replace a light bulb which had burned out behind a red reflector in a traffic light after it had notice that the light was malfunctioning.

Appeal dismissed. Smith and Banke, JJ., concur.

ARGUED SEPTEMBER 12, 1978 — DECIDED OCTOBER 23, 1978 — REHEARING DENIED NOVEMBER 7, 1978 — CERT. APPLIED FOR.
