HOLLY v. SOUTH

No. A01A0814.

553 S.E.2d 159 (2001)

250 Ga. App. 342

HOLLY, v. SOUTH et al.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

July 2, 2001.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Maxine Hardy, for appellant.

Warren S. Shulman, Columbus, for appellees.


SMITH, Presiding Judge.

Jennifer Holly appeals from the trial court's grant of the defendants' motion to dismiss on the ground of res judicata her suit alleging intentional infliction of emotional distress. We find that the doctrine of res judicata does not apply, because the claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress against these defendants in Holly's prior federal litigation was not dismissed on its merits. We therefore reverse the judgment below.
