1Opinion of the Court
This is a workmen's compensation case.
On June 20, 1986 Jacob Pope filed a claim for workmen's compensation benefits against his employer, Golden Rod Broilers, Inc. (Golden Rod). Trial was subsequently held in the Circuit Court of Hale County. After a trial the court entered a judgment denying compensation. The court determined that Pope's injury did not "arise out of" his employment and thus was not a compensable injury. §§ 25-5-1 and -31, Code 1975. See, Ragland Brick Co. v. Campbell, 409 So.2d 443 (Ala.Civ.App. 1982). Pope appeals and we affirm.
