Opinion

61293.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 27, 1981. REHEARING DENIED MARCH 18, 1981.

Motion to vacate. Lumpkin Superior Court. Before Judge Kenyon.

Maylon K. London, for appellant.

Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, Robert S. Stubbs II, Executive Assistant Attorney General, Don A. Langham, First Assistant Attorney General, John C. Walden, Senior Assistant Attorney General, W. Davis Hewitt, Assistant Attorney General, Jeff C. Wayne, District Attorney, Bruce L. Udolf, Assistant District Attorney, for appellees.


The order of the trial court granting judgment on the pleadings to the defendants was correct since all issues raised below have already been decided adversely to appellant. Shoffeitt v. State, 154 Ga. App. 108 ( 270 S.E.2d 90) (1980). Appellant has moved this court to remand this case to the trial court for failure to include one defendant in the final order. That motion is denied because the trial court has corrected the judgment nunc pro tunc as it has the authority to do under Code Ann. § 81A-160 (g). Gresham v. Rogers, 147 Ga. App. 189, 191 (3) ( 248 S.E.2d 225) (1978). The judgment as it now stands is in favor of all defendants.

Judgment affirmed. Shulman, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 27, 1981 — REHEARING DENIED MARCH 18, 1981 — CERT. APPLIED FOR.
