Granted. Judgment of the court of appeal is reversed; summary judgment is vacated; ease remanded for further proceedings.
Concurring Opinion
concurs, noting that this case involves improper use of summary judgment. Here, a third party plaintiff attempted to obtain a premature ruling on an issue which would not result in dismissal of the suit as to any party. The summary judgment granted by the district court resulted in piece meal appeals, unnecessary delay, and extreme judicial inefficiency. The indemnity issue is more properly decided at the trial on the merits.
