74954.
    WILLIAMS v. GREENFIELD EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC.
    (361 SE2d 199)
    Decided September 8, 1987
    Rehearing denied September 16, 1987
    
      Peter J. Rice, Jr., Andrew H. Marshall, for appellant.
    
      E. Davison Burch, for appellee.
   Deen, Presiding Judge.

The sole issue in this appeal is whether the trial court violated OCGA § 9-10-182 by allowing two attorneys to argue for the defendant during closing argument. Both the plaintiff and the defendant employed double counsel. One attorney for the plaintiff began closing argument; the two defense attorneys then argued; and the plaintiff’s second attorney concluded the argument. Under Taylor v. Powell, 158 Ga. App. 339 (280 SE2d 386) (1981), this procedure did not violate OCGA § 9-10-182.

Judgment affirmed.

Birdsong, C. J., and Pope, J., concur.
