Dobbs v. Siegelman

Opinion of the Court

ALMON, Justice.

AFFIRMED. NO OPINION.

See Rule 53(a)(1) and (a)(2)(F), Ala. R.App. P.

SHORES, KENNEDY, COOK, and LYONS, JJ., concur. MADDOX, J., concurs specially.

Concurring Opinion

MADDOX, Justice

(concurring specially).

I concur to affirm, but would point out that I did not vote in Ex parte Sierra Club, 674 So.2d 54 (Ala. 1995), a case cited by the trial judge, and I do not necessarily agree with the holding of that case that “a declaratory judgment action is not convertible to a quo warranto action.” 674 So.2d at 58. The provisions of Rule 1, Ala. R. Civ. P., it appears to me, do not major in style but in substance.
