Quillian, Presiding Judge.
This is an action sounding in libel, arising from allegations of improper medical practice against Dr. Morton — the plaintiff, by members of the Grady County Medical Society — Doctors Gardner, Palen, and Bihl. Plaintiff appeals from the grant of summary judgment to Doctors Gardner and Palen. Bihl was dismissed as a defendant in this action.
This is the fifth appeal arising from this incident. See Morton v. Skrine and Stewart v. Morton, 242 Ga. 844 (252 SE2d 408); Morton v. Gardner, 242 Ga. 852 (252 SE2d 413); Morton v. Stewart, 153 Ga. App. 636 (266 SE2d 230).
