PAYNE et al. v. STEVENS.
    Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
    Sept. 26, 1952.
    John W. McKenzie, Ashland, Thomas E. Nickell, Greenup, for appellants.
    Dysard & Dysard, Ashland, for appellee.
   CAMMACK, Chief Justice.

This appeal is from a judgment holding that the. appellee is entitled to a continuing teaching contract under KRS 161.-740'.'

In the case of Payne v. Bush, Ky., 249 S.W.2d 789, we held that a teacher eligible for a continuing contract under, the Teachers’ Tenure Act, after having taught two years under a limited contract, acquires nó absolute right to a continuing contract on subsequent re-employment under a limited contract. That case is controlling here, since the facts in the two cases are identical.

Judgment reversed, with directions to set it aside, and to enter a judgment in conformity with this opinion.
