Green v. Morris
Annotate this CasePetitioners George D. Green and Wanda Green, the plaintiffs in a personal-injury action pending in the Monroe Circuit Court, petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to direct that court to vacate its order transferring the underlying action to the Conecuh Circuit Court. The complaint sought damages for assault and battery; it alleged that the defendants Paul Battle and Garth Morris "shot[] [George] with a shotgun." George sought damages for physical injuries and mental anguish; Wanda sought damages for loss of consortium. The complaint further alleged that the Greens and Morris were residents of Conecuh County and that Battle was a resident of Pensacola, Florida. Battle filed a motion seeking, among other things, a transfer of the case to Conecuh County. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that venue was proper in Monroe County; the Greens have thus demonstrated that the trial court erred in transferring the case. The Supreme Court granted the petition and directed the trial court to vacate its order.
