Supreme Court of Mississippi.

November 13, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William L. Waller, Jr., Waller & Waller, Jackson, Dannye L. Hunter, Brandon, for Appellant.

John D. Brady, William A. Patterson, McCoy Wilkins Stephens & Tipton, Jackson, for Appellee.

Before SULLIVAN, P.J., and McRAE and MILLS, JJ.

MILLS, Justice, for the Court:

¶ 1. On April 4, 1995, the Circuit Court of Hinds County dismissed Jerome Hord's negligence action against the City of Yazoo City as barred by the City's sovereign immunity under the Mississippi Tort Claims Act. On appeal before this Court, Hord argues that the trial court erred in applying the Act, and that his claim arose out of a proprietary function for which the City may be held liable.
