William Albert DIXON and Myra Jean Dixon v. David PEARCE 
      .
    
    1930761.
    Supreme Court of Alabama.
    Aug. 12, 1994.
    C. Knox McLaney III and Hendon B. De-Bray of McLaney and DeBray, Montgomery, for appellants.
    Harry W. Gamble, Jr. and Frank C. Wilson III of Gamble, Gamble, Caíame & Wilson, Selma, for appellee.
    
      
      . The notice of appeal and the style of the case as reflected on briefs of counsel indicate that Farm Credit Bank of Texas is an appellee. In fact, the trial court denied Farm Credit Bank's motion to dismiss and entered a dismissal only as to David Pearce. This appeal is from the judgment dismissing Pearce, and Farm Credit Bank is not a party to this appeal.
    
   RICHARD L. JONES, Retired Justice.

Because, in their attempt to enforce the statutory right of redemption following a mortgage foreclosure sale, the debtors/re-demptioners failed to comply with the “tender of payment” provisions of Ala.Code 1975, §§ 6-5-252 and -253, the judgment dismissing their claim as to defendant David Pearce is affirmed.

This opinion was prepared by retired Justice RICHARD L. JONES, sitting as a Justice of this Court pursuant to § 12-18-10(e), Ala.Code 1975, and it is hereby adopted as that of the Court.

AFFIRMED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and SHORES, HOUSTON and COOK, JJ., concur.

MADDOX, J., concurs in the result.

STEAGALL and INGRAM, JJ., dissent.
