385 S.E.2d 206

Alden CHAVOUS, Jr., Individually and as Guardian Ad Litem for Alden Chavous, III, a minor, Appellants v. Herman Wayne BROWN and Joanna Brown, Respondents.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided September 5, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

D. Lester Diggs, Aiken, for appellants.

Robert C. Brown, Jr., Columbia, for respondents.

Heard Feb. 16, 1989.

Decided Sept. 5, 1989.

CURETON, Judge:

The issue in this case is whether the constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws prohibits the exercise of peremptory challenges on racial grounds by private litigants in the trial of a civil case; if it does, did the respondents present non-racial based reasons for their peremptory jury challenges.1 We reverse and remand for a new trial.
