PITTMAN, BRYAN, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.

THOMPSON, P.J., dissents, with writing.

THOMPSON, Presiding Judge, dissenting.

"For a summary judgment to be proper, there must be no genuine issue of material fact and the movant must be entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Ala. R. Civ. P. 56(c), Tripp v. Humana, Inc., 474 So.2d 88 (Ala.1985). Further, on review of a summary judgment we must view all the evidence in a light most favorable to the nonmovant and we must entertain all reasonable inferences from the evidence in favor of the nonmovant. Fincher v. Robinson Bros. Lincoln-Mercury, 583 So.2d 256 (Ala.1991)."

First Fin. Ins. Co. v. Tillery, 626 So.2d 1252, 1254 (Ala.1993).

Because I believe that the evidence contained in the record on appeal, when viewed in a light most favorable to the plaintiffs, created a genuine issue of material fact to be decided by a jury, I would reverse the summary judgment in favor of the defendants.

Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
