497 So. 2d 145

Thompson v. Thompson

Supreme Court of Alabama

Decided October 24, 1986

Supreme Court of Alabama · decided 1986-10-24

Relies on 418 So. 2d 934 - Ex Parte McDaniel

Decided 1986-10-24

TORBERT, Chief Justice.

¶1Writ denied. As this Court has stated before, writs of certiorari are frequently denied without any consideration of the merits, and a denial of certiorari should never be interpreted as an expression by the reviewing court on the merits of the controversy. Ex parte McDaniel, 418 So.2d 934 (Ala.1982). Our denial of the writ should not be understood as an approval of the Court of Civil Appeals’ use of mandamus in this case.

¶2WRIT DENIED.

MADDOX, ALMON, BEATTY and HOUSTON, JJ., concur.
