Action for $27,500 damages for libel. Defendants' motion for summary judgment was sustained and judgment entered for defendants. Plaintiff appeals from this judgment. We have jurisdiction because notice of appeal was filed in the trial court prior to September 11, 1970, the effective date of the act (H.B. 34, Third Extra Session 1970) increasing the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals to $30,000. We affirm the judgment.
