Concurring Opinion

HOUSTON, Justice

(concurring specially).

I concur. This Court does not have jurisdiction to decide whether David Rowland was receiving disability benefits from Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, which Goodyear could then offset against Rowland’s workers’ compensation benefits. See Etheredge v. Genie Indus., Inc., 632 So.2d 1324, 1325 (Ala. 1994); Horton v. Horton, 822 So.2d 431, 434 (Ala.Civ.App. 2001); Rule 39(a)(1) and (d)(5)(c), Ala. R.App. P.
