SPRINKLE EX REL. PHILYAW v. EDWARDS

1010199.

848 So.2d 217 (2002)

Timothy Joe SPRINKLE, a minor, by and through his next friend, Emmett PHILYAW v. George Hardy EDWARDS, Jr.

Supreme Court of Alabama.

October 4, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bryan G Duhé, Mobile, for appellant.

James W. Porter II of Porter, Porter & Hassinger, P.C., Birmingham, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

This case arises out of an automobile accident in which Timothy Joe Sprinkle, a minor, was injured. It is undisputed that the accident was caused by George Hardy Edwards, Jr., a deputy sheriff, who was responding to an emergency dispatch and driving at a high rate of speed. The trial court entered a summary judgment for Edwards. Because we find that Sprinkle's claim is precluded by the doctrine of res judicata, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
