Ex parte John L. MOORE, III. (Re Anna Monette MARENO and G. Wildon Mareno v. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OF CITY OF MOBILE and John L. Moore, III, Intervenor).
    85-10.
    Supreme Court of Alabama.
    Jan. 31, 1986.
    Claude E. Patton, Mobile, for petitioner.
    Beth McFadden Rouse, of McFadden, Riley & Parker, Mobile, for respondents.
   HOUSTON, Justice.

The Court of Civil Appeals’ reversal, 495 So.2d 1109, should be construed as holding only that respondents have established a prima facie case. The strong language of that court’s opinion should not be construed as creating a presumption in respondents’ favor. Variances are disfavored. The remandment is without prejudice to petitioner’s right to put on his evidence. Rule 41(b), Ala.R.Civ.P.

WRIT DENIED.

TORBERT, C.J., and FAULKNER, BEATTY and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
