UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

ORDER

On February 7, 1978, the court entered an order granting the unopposed motions for summary judgment of the defendant in the above-styled cases. Pending before the court are plaintiffs’ motions for reconsideration.

Plaintiffs contend the provisions of Ga.Code Ann. § 3-808 protect them from a defense concerning the statute of limitations. It is clear, however, that this renewal statute is not applicable where the original suit was filed in federal court. Hudnall v. Kelley, 388 F.Supp. 1352, 1356 (N.D.Ga. 1975). See also, Webb v. Southern Cotton Oil Co., 131 Ga. 682, 63 S.E. 135 (1908); The Constitution Publishing Company v. DeLaughter, 95 Ga. 17, 18, 21 S.E. 1000 (1894); Nevels v. Detroiter Mobile Homes, 124 Ga.App. 112, 183 S.E.2d 77 (1971).

Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is DENIED.

SO ORDERED, this the 28th day of March, 1978.
