EX PARTE ALABAMA DEPT. OF TRANSP.

No. 1060078.

978 So.2d 17 (2007)

Ex parte ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (In re Good Hope Contracting Company, Inc. v. Alabama Department of Transportation).

Supreme Court of Alabama.

July 20, 2007.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roger L. Bates, Mark T. Waggoner, and Stephen N. Fitts III of Hand Arendall, L.L.C., Birmingham, for petitioner.

Jack G. Kowalski, L. Griffin Tyndall, and David Wanhatalo of Burr & Forman, LLP, Birmingham, for respondent.

SEE, Justice.

The Alabama Department of Transportation ("ALDOT") petitions this Court for the writ of mandamus directing the Montgomery Circuit Court to enter an order dismissing the complaint of Good Hope Contracting Company, Inc. ("Good Hope"), on the grounds of sovereign immunity. Because ALDOT has demonstrated a clear legal right to this relief, we grant the petition and issue the writ of mandamus.
