RALSTON PURINA COMPANY, Appellant, v. Linda WEBB, Executrix of the Estate of Wilmont Clyde Webb, Appellee.
    No. W-123.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    April 15, 1975.
    Rehearing Denied April 29, 1975.
    Bevin G. Ritch, Lowry & Ritch, Gaines-ville, for appellant.
    Ben Daniel, Jr., Ocala, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

This appeal questions the correctness of a summary judgment rendered in favor of appellee.

A careful examination of the record on appeal conclusively establishes the absence of any genuine triable issue of a material fact and that appellee was entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Accordingly, the judgment appealed is

Affirmed.

BOYER, Acting C. J., and MILLS, J., concur.

McCORD, J., dissents.

McCORD

(dissenting).

On Motion for Summary Judgment, all reasonable inferences must be considered in a light most favorable to the party moved against. In my view, there are material issues of fact on the question of whether or not Lester A. Bell, Jr., son-in-law of W. C. Webb and also a salesman for appellant, was acting as Webb’s authorized agent when he incurred the debt here sued upon in Webb’s name. Such precludes the grant of summary judgment and I, therefore, dissent.
