Tucker v. Smith

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Mikell, Judge.

Sandra E. Tucker appeals the trial court’s grant of summary judgment to Marion Smith II and Linda Pacer1 on Tucker’s legal malpractice claim. Because Tucker’s action is barred by the applicable statute of limitation, we affirm.

Summary judgment is proper when there is no genuine issue of material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. A de novo standard of review applies to an appeal from a grant of summary judgment, and we view the evidence, and all reasonable conclusions and inferences drawn from it, in the light most favorable to the nonmovant.2
