McCall v. Four Star Music Co.

Opinion

ALDRICH, J.—

Introduction

Plaintiffs, James B. McCall et al., appeal from the trial court’s order granting the motion of Joe E. Johnson to enter satisfaction of a judgment previously entered in favor of William A. McCall 1 and against joint tortfeasors, Johnson, Challenge Records, and Four Star Music Co., Inc. We conclude the motion should not have been granted.
