City of Bowman v. Gunnells
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided October 23, 1978 · Deen, Smith, Banke
251 S.E.2d 39; 148 Ga. App. 27; 1978 Ga. App. LEXIS 3006 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

City of Bowman v. Gunnells

Opinion

Deen, Presiding Judge.

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.
