HOUSTON, Justice

(dissenting).

I would grant certiorari review.

I wrote Ex parte Patterson, 561 So.2d 236 (Ala.1990), which was an 8-0 decision. Our standard of review for a summary judgment and Ex parte Patterson cause me to want Wal-Mart to tell me why the summary judgment in its favor was proper.

JOHNSTONE, J., concurs.
